Re: OT Rem Nylon 66
With the way the 66s are put together I don't think consistency with a scope can ever be guaranteed across a range of temps and conditions. After all, you're clamping a scope to a receiver "cover" attached to a plastic "body". The barrel isn't really attached or pressed into the ...

Re: How is this for a different question?
One of the Saiga carbine chambered in 223 would already be closer to what you want than an SKS. Maybe just convert to a fixed mag. Just a thought among many:

I also believe some of the Aussies have played around with Enfields converted to .223.

Re: Rossi or Marlin?
I've got 2 1894 Marlins made within the last 3 years both are great guns and I see little difference between them and my father in laws early 80's 1894c. They're still blue steel and walnut and wonder of all wonders still MADE IN THE USA. That's still worth something to me.

Here's another vote for the "straight stocked carbine, pistol gripped rifle school of thought". I love the looks of a straight grip, but I really feel a pistol grip is more comfortable for shooting. I also really appreciate the pistol grip on my 1895 Marlin in 45-70 for it's better feel of...
