[QUOTE="arenathlete, post: 1045203, member: 4624"] Get the FAL, you won't be dissapointed............ I owned a proper head-spaced CETME(checked with a feeler gauge from my mechanic) and a blast to shoot, recoil was a bit heavier than I expected but there is a MAJOR difference between it and the HK G3 variant. Put those two side-to-side and you'll understand very quickly why the HK sells for much more. The cetme is probably good out to 200yrds with the crap sights on man-sized targets, otherwise the HK aluminum mags are $1 from cheaperthandirt.com, much better than Saiga or FAL mags Saiga's IMO aren't that good a rifle, a cheap Russian build is no better than a cheap Polish, Romanian, or etc build. AND, if you're not one to tinker with your firearms, then the Saiga will start to become expensive to trick-out. Before last year I had no experience with FAL's, but now I'm completely sold on the platform; it doesn't garner much support except from people that shoot them. Good luck and congrats on stepping up to the .30 caliber [/QUOTE]
