....Adding a couple of uppers/rifles in 7.62 for 'cheaper' ammo is akin to spending $40k that gets 40mpg over your current vehicle that gets 25mpg....
$40K??!!..........I picked up my uppers for under $300 each at PSA.
Are your uppers able to carry you and the family to the market? Savvy? The $40K that gets 40mpg (that is miles per gallon) refers to a vehicle.
Oh, you can get around in an automobile?....who knew?
Your comparison makes no sense whatsoever.
A $279 upper and 1000 rounds of 7.62x39 for $250 dollars. it is what it is, and it ain't what it ain't.
It damn sure ain't anything to do with a $40K automobile.
