So there are many, many threads about the sks vs ak, mini 14 vs ak, mini 14 vs ar-15, sks vs ar 15, and so on. It doesn't seem like much discussion exists comparing the sks and mini-14. So in general what do you think?
More specific to my case, I kind of have a desire to get a mini. However, I have an sks. It shoots very nicely and is quite accurate for what it is. I can't stand the wood stock, but that is easily enough fixed if I would buy an aftermarket one. I would like an all-around "ranch" and SHTF gun, as my wife and I will soon be moving to a more rural location. Do you think there are any clear advantages of the mini, especially since I already have an sks?
