I saw some nice surplus Russian SKS Carbines up at Gander today... i've heard good things about them. What do you think about them? I was almost tempted to buy it today, but i'd rather get some more input before I buy something I won't like.

I would like to add something I forgot to add. I currently own a semi-auto SKS in 7.62 - 39mm. The one I saw was a bolt action in 7.62 - 54mm

Well, if it was a bolt action in 7.62x54R, it wasn't an SKS (unless I've missed something.) It was most likely an M44 or M38 Mosin Nagant. By all accounts, these are very serviceable rifles, if not gorgeous in looks or accuracy. I've seen some M44 carbines going for very good prices lately, and have been seriously thinking about grabbing one myself....
