Buy recommendations TM22 or another SKS?

I recently picked up a Chinese unissued SKS and now I’m thinking about getting one more firearm. I can’t decide if I should grab another SKS and throw it into an aftermarket stock, or just go with a TM22.

I won't be going to the range much, probably only a couple times a year, so it’s not like this will see a ton of shooting. I also don’t have space (or really the need) for a bigger collection, so this would be my last one for a while.

Price-wise, the TM22 Feather is the cheapest, the Pro is somewhere in the middle, and a second SKS with mods would easily end up over $1000.

If TM22 then which one? the feather, 16inch or 18in pro model?

What would you do in my situation?

I had a stock russian SKS and then a chinese SKS in an aftermarket stock. The novelty wore off quickly as it didn't make the gun any more accurate and the 5 shot limit got kinda boring.

I'd go TM22

I planned to put my Chinese rifle in a modern stock, that’s what I had in mind when I bought it. But when it arrived, everything was in such great condition that now I don’t want to mess with it 🤣 Looks like I’ll just have to make some space and start saving up… for three rifles now.
