Should I get the gsg16 or should I get the sks? Currently only have money for one but I’ve heard great things about both

I don't have either, but I would recommend the SKS first if you had to choose.

Both are fun and affordable to shoot. But the SKS can also be used for hunting, etc.

Though maybe I'd go the opposite way if the person might be a bit gunshy and would be better off starting with a 22.
