I'll disagree with those that say save your money. If your like me, it is a lot easier to spend $250 than to save $900. I recommend to anyone buying their first type of milsurp to start with a CHEAP one. You CAN NOT go wrong with a $250 shooter. You will learn about it and be more familiar with it. And learn what to look for when you do want to spend close to a grand on an original rifle.

What if you save a grand and end up spending it on a gun that is really worth $500? That is not possible with a $250 shooter. Buy the shooter and some books. Educate yourself first.
