J&G has Yugo 24/47's for cheap, I really might buy one but for a bit more I could nab a K98...

This is for collection, shooting, and probably pegging deer from my back door.

I can't really see any valid reason to pay more for a German one other than it being a collector thing, but since these Yugo's came up I've got a "hmmm..." going on.

I know the action is a bit shorter on the Yugos and the bolts are different, etc...

What would you buy?
