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?

Variety, my next debate is pietta pps-50 or tikka t3x. Both ideally but I want a woox stock on the tikka, but a 50rd drum sounds like range fun

Ik ik, but at the moment I don't really have the luxury to have too many. Want a cope rile, but the smaller caliber is kinda off putting. Heard great things about the tikka t3x.

I have 2 chambered in 22lr and I got them exclusively because of the action and price. They're not a fortune and it fills the fun need. If I want something that REALLY thumps I have a 12ga which again wasn't a small fortune. Depending on where you are look for sales. Near me there's a Winchester Wildcat going for $300 or so. I'm glad you've heard good things about the t3x I'm hoping to make it a tool to shoot 1km
