Finding an SKS in NY for $300 is going to be tough. Yugoslavs are going for about $350 and the rest are going for more (Russians have gone through the roof). The Mosin M44 can probably be found for under $300 and a new 10/22 can be had for under $300. You might also consider looking around for a used Marlin 336 in 30-30 (although you may need a little more cash for a nice one).
