  I plan on picking up an SKS at the next gun show...I have an order form for 
the barret .50 cal sniper rifle but am having problems selling my car so I 
can buy it (haha)...yeah the barret is nice isn't it?....I wonder what the 
recoil feels like on that thing?...You seem to be very knowledgible and I'd 
like to thank everybody who has replied for the feedback....The general 
concensus both seem to be for the SKS and the SAVAGE....thanks again John

about $150....it's an original with 3 straight mags....
