[QUOTE="30BulletHoles, post: 1136993, member: 8041"] I can think of several reasons not to pick 6.8spc, .30rar, or 6.5 grendel over 7.62x39. 1. The cost of the platforms is more than double what an AK or sks is. 2. The cost of the ammo is substantially more than 7.62x39. 3. The availability of said ammo is far less in comparison to 7.62x39. 4. If you want a new toy then buy an expensive rifle in an oddball caliber and bang away. 5. Better is the enemy of good enough. If one has to defend his life/property then its the small details that are no longer relavant. The basic AK variant and SKS are cheap, fun to shoot and will kill effectively if needed. [/QUOTE]
