    They also have the advantage of being incredibly sturdy - after all they're designed for military use. They can take a lot more than the average hunting rifle.

    What military rifles have you guys taken hunting? I've taken the SKS (20"). Haven't taken the mosin and probably won't (being 19 meters long). Bet a few of you have a M305 (M14) although I imagine they're probably pretty hefty for lugging around in the bush.

    Also that's a hell of good price for a chromed SKS, surely the chroming would have cost a fair bit to get done.
