I am looking for a fun rifle without the headaches of repartee and warranty work. Looking for a rifle to have fun with shooting crap like watermelons and beer cans. I have the following:
SKS
Svt-40
12 gauge
22 plinker
2 lee enfields
Mosin nagant

I was thinking on something like a...
Vz 58
M305
Sub 2000
Thereon defense

Something under $1000

Or maybe one of those bullpup if I spelled it right. I am kind of shying away from Chinese rifles I have seen some with poor quality but they are defenately in my price range.
 
Well. Sometimes I make the decisions based on how much I can afford to shoot it.

Can't go wrong with a pistol carbine like the Sub2000 or TD for cheap plinking.

VZ, meh, is it 223 ? 223 is good for paper unless you custom reload.

I thoroughly enjoy shooting the M305. The irons are nice enough, that if you're good and it's sighted in right, you can hit a gatorade bottle at 100. That was one of my fave things to plink with it. And if you're using SP ammo, those bottles explode quite violently.

I also enjoyed sniping rocks, with a scope mounted.

I was thinking of a m305, I have seen some with cool looking stocks. The black feather stock and there is another that I saw but can't remember the name of it and it looks really good.

How well do they work with a scope? I know with an SKS or svt-40 they don't want to stay zeroed.
 
There scope mounts sit a bit high, so the comb sucks, but you can put risers on the stock, or some upgrade stocks have them.

They typically shoot 2-3moa out the box, which is just as accurate is not way better then the other options you've mentions.
You can tighten that up with some of Hungrys unitizing mods. Tighten further with an upgrade op rod spring guide, tho I haven't gotten around to picking one up yet.

308/7.62 is no where near as cheap to shoot as the other options, especially if you want sick moa, and handloading is somewhat tricky and requires a bit more attention to detail, save the gun becomes a grenade, but it worth it if you're going for bottom dollar plinking, or accuracy.
 
1)Do you reload?
2)How much do you want to shoot it?

If you don't reload and want to shoot a lot the Norinco AR is fun.
If you don't plan to shoot a lot the M305 is nice.
