This year, I think. Lots of bargains still to be had if you are cartridge-flexible. Whittaker has 7.62x39 for $799. CDNN might have some too. $1800 is not in my budget, nor do I think they're worth that much. I suspect there's a lttle fudge factor there from Lipsey's. Cost can't have increased that much. Darrik has implied that the big bargains are not going to appear again, so anyone wanting a cheap, new Number 1 should probably grab one now.
