X39 all the way.

1. Brass cases are the same price. But cheap Surplus and norinco non corrosive exist for x39

  1. One canadaguns member is working on 3d printing proprietary mags for the x39 version. Then these are for sale, there should be cool 10 and 20 round mags for it, vs the 300ac which only has 10 round pistol mags

  2. There are x39 trails for sale for 990 bucks. The 300ac one is 1250 bucks. So you are already saving 200+ bucks.

  3. You might already own an sks and thus already have ammo. Btw the 2 guns are wildly different to shoot.  My sks is soft shooting, heavy old Surplus.  My trail is loud with surprising kick, compact, light, easy to mount irons and scopes,  and I think it's far more accurate.

So my vote is get the x39 version.  300ac  makes sense in USA where 300ac is as cheap as x39, and common.  Everywhere else in the world, x39 is the superior pick, including here.
