SKS yugo for 399? Are these any good? I know nothing about them.

Big 5 has them in 7.62x39.

Seems steep.

I bought mine unissued for $199. a few years ago. They are around $259 now, around here.

Shows deals for them new at $250 and Excellent quality for $220. I say $399 is way overpriced.

An M59 may run $399, I'm not sure, but a 59/66 is a lot closer to $250. No way I'd pay $399 for a 59/66.

I paid near $800 for mine 13 years ago....but yes, there are a few unissued 59/66s out there...mine was one of them. Has never had a bullet in the mag

:roll:
I seriously doubt the 59/66 the OP is talking about has never had a bullet in the mag, or is worth anywhere near $800. It's not even worth $399.

Holy crap the prices have gone up! Bought mine for $150 several years ago!

Thanks for the info. Are they decent rifles? I don't plan to pay 399 but do they shoot well?

I can hit pig sized Silhouettes at 300 meters with open sights.

That sounds pretty good to me.

Yeah, don't pay over $270 for an SKS.
