Hell yea. For 120$ you can buy a sweet lil Yugoslavian SKS that'll shoot at about 4-5 MOA right out the cosmoline with milsurp 123 gr ammo with an effective range of 200-300 yards.
Also it's been shown that the FMJ 7.62 has more power over 100 yards than the 30-30 SP.
The SKS has a dirty reputation but it's still a reliable and fun gun to fire.
It's the rifle the stoked my love affair with milsurp weaponry. I'm even working on building up one on a nice Choate stock. Everyone I talk to is getting in on the act with the SKS.

I would guess that caliber in it's recent incarnations from SKS to AK-47 has been responsible for more battlefield kills than any other cartridge.
Very reliable cache weapon for the money.
