Buy recommendations SKS Current Prices Worth it?

Just got my pal and ive always intended to get an sks, but after 9 months of waiting the prices have gone up quite a bit since originally intending to buy one

in your opinion is the current price range of 700-1000ish$ worth it for an sks? i always see one of the main selling points as being cheap, but if a more modern rifles only a few hundred more at this price point is it really worth buying an sks still?

It’s the last trustworthy semi auto man. If you don’t buy one, you’re going to regret it. Go for it

I live in America and have unlimited access to awesome rifles, I’d still snag an SKS if I didn’t have one. They’re awesome rifles.
