I missed out on some of the realy nice ones years ago when Numrich Arms had their gunstore-they had racks of them in different calibers,but I was too busy pulling out the Garands they had at the time.
Glad I found this one when I got out here.I'll let you shoot it next time we go out to the range

Another option for the OP is a Vepr in .308

Ak reliability and not too drastically priced.
