You benchrest guys are a strange breed. What good does a rifle that shoots one hole groups do you in the field when you can't even hit the berm without your bench and sandbags?

A good SKS will be 100% reliable and even more reliable than some $1500 US made rifles.

They are more than accurate enough to hit any real world target that you would ever need to hit at the ranges the rifle is designed to be used.

I own Garands AR's and a high dollar M1a as well as a few SKS rifles. Only the SKS rifles have been 100% reliable and have never broken any parts.

I shoot highpower and I can hold the ten ring on the 600 yard target with my AR or M1a but if the **** hits the fan I intend to grab my SKS.
