Kim picks my rifle-twice!

Kim du Toit has published his list of "best guns" and in his subset list for best semi-auto rimfire rifle, his choice is my Taurus Model 63. Under the heading of "best assault rifle" Kim likes the SKS in 7.62 X 39. I've got to say that I really like both of these rifles in my gun locker. My Taurus has become my regular gun for jackrabbit hunting and it has turned out to be a reliable and accurate rifle. My SKS is also a really dandy and accurate rifle and a pleasure to shoot. I haven't bought the new Tapco sporter stock for this rifle yet- but I've been busy. I also noticed tonight that this new stock is now available in either OD Green or Desert Tan, so maybe its good that I have delayed hitting the "buy" button until now. Make sure to click the "larger view" link to see what the gun looks like converted. I'm also planning to upgrade the bolt in this rifle to add the return spring that it doesn't have. This omission can cause the rifle to fire in full-auto mode if dirt or powder jams the firing pin in the forward position. There is also a gunsmith that specializes in improving the trigger that I have found and I'll be getting that cleaned up too.

But back to the main point, I was just tickled to see two of my favorite rifles showing up an a list of Kim's favorites. Its purely by happenstance too, I haven't been browsing Kim's lists before I make my own choices.
