You can get the .223 and 7.62x39 for less than 400 if you look. That's the makings of a great beater rifle.
If I get another 7.62 rifle to shoot the roughly 2500rds of ammo I currently have, I'll pick up a Ruger Mini-30.
BTW, I picked up my ammo MUCH cheaper than you're quoting, if you're quoting a 1440rd case. Is that price correct?
I think when I bought my case (1440rds) of Russian hollow points, it was ~$180? I then picked up a few more boxes here and there, then another ~1000rds when my dad helped clean out a foreclosure to be flipped. I even have brass and dies in case I want to reload.[/quote]
I haven't priced 7.62 in a while...the Mini's...I dunno....they're weird sometimes. Some of them just won't shoot worth a damn.
