    Im also looking at the .308 M305 M14 copy, but reports say the quality is a bit hit and miss.

    I've had both SKS and a chinese M14 copy (currently for sale). Decided to go the SKS way due to the decreased recoil outweighing the ballistic performance difference at the ranges i'm going to be using it - 100-150m. The standard SKS stock is definitely on the short side LOP wise and I'm only 5"9. I'm avoiding the dragunov stock (ATI at least) as, by all accounts, it has a raised portion to the rear of the receiver cover that means you have to remove the rifle from the stock to clean. Looking at a monte carlo style one instead.

    If you go the SKS way, the biggest improvement i've found is new iron sights- i'm using a rear tech sight with a fire sight front, and it just makes it a new weapon

    Gosh you guys would hate me if I showed you what my SKS looked like haha.

    I bought my SKS from guncity advertised as a 5 round and it's actually a 7 round so sweet

    I don't know about you guys but I have seen 4 sks'. All were listed as 5 round mag, yet every one has taken 7 rounds in the mag and fed, cycled and functioned perfectly
