An SKS is kind of like going to the liquor store an buying the cheapest mass produced plonk on the shelf. It will do the job but you will have a headache in the morning.
Back when they were $125 and under guns this was just fine. Now you can buy an entry AR for the same price I've seen them going for. You may as well buy the $350 AR.
I also bought when they were cheap and own several. If you do buy one I find them more accurate when fitted with a ghost ring sight. I don't recommend the magazine conversion either. The musket length SKS doesn't lend itself to being a handy SD or HD rifle so a magazine conversion is of limited value.
