M14s or SKS

[TheManInBlack]

Heres an easy one to make my decision.

Don't be swayed by us, get what you'll enjoy the most. Both guns have their merits. The SKS is light, compact, cheap and fires inexpensive ammo. Maybe this is more important to you than the reasons I chose an M14s?

sks= cheap ammo

Agree with Grizzlypeg...

Had/have both... different animals but both are fine pets

Both! But if you could only get one.
- 1120rds for $200 vs. 20rds for $20
- $650 for an M14
- $300 for an SKS
- M14 comes with detach mags

i made a thread with these exact 2 options about a month n a bit ago .. choice was tough for me too .. i was chosing between the m14 and an SKS carbine ..

i ended up getting both.. ditching a shotgun and a bolt action that i never used.. and to tell you the truth.. i love them both.. the sks is so compact and light and a pleasure to shoot.. and the M14 is.. well.. an M14.. enough said

in short.. get both !

Get both, you know you want to!

I guess it depends on your priorities. The M14 is more accurate, has better iron sights, better ergonomics, and is better suited to big game hunting.

The SKS, on the other hand, is much cheaper to feed. This might make it better as a cheap plinker.

get both

Sorry but for me its the SKS. While not having the power&accuracy of the M14, the SKS is extremely durable and reliable,compact and ammo is inexpensive. And very cool russian look.

nothing wrong with the SKS for big game hunting.. its my new deer and goat rifle .. dont tend to take shots at more than 100m in the bush here so it works nice

M14 does have the better tactical acc.
What is the availability of the M14 and the SKS current and future?

 

[Fenix.NZ]

ive got a UTG tri rail for my SKS .. havent used it yet.. i really want one for the m14 lol..

if anyone over there wants to swap me an M14 UTG tri rail for an SKS UTG tri rail im keen !


edit: sorry, my point being was that the sks can be tactical too

 

[savage express]

Yes it can, even ATI has a new stock out for it. Its plastic but for $100 its a pretty good deal.

I say sks but then again I'm bias because I can't seem to afford an M14 yet. But for the best bang for the buck is sks. Its cheap ($199.50 lever arms russin refurb) and ammo-a-plenty($180 a case)

 

[sonoftweety]

tough call i have 5 sks 3 m14
like the m14 better though

 

[eigenvector]

M14S. There are millions of SKSs and they will be coming in until guns are banned. You may never see reasonably priced M14s again after this year.

For whoever buys it, I hope it's better than their old version of the folding stock. That was plain junk, imho.

sks...one reason...bayonet


and maybe the cheap surplus ammo.

I hate to say that I voted SKS. Cheap ammo, cheap rifle and low expectations. I had an M14S and it shot like gargabe. Sure it's an example of 1, but it's the only one I've shot. Had it shot better I'd have said M14 despite the pricier ammo.
