8X56MS,

Nice photos of a nice gun. I like the 180, but never bought one. I prefer piston-driven gas guns. In the 1990s, I was able to buy a few New Chinese SKS arms with all the accessories for $85 each. I sorted out the best shooters, traded the culls and now reload for the SKS, both Chinese and Russian.

I may get a .223 someday, but there is no rush. I like heavier bullets in my "Scout" arms. I do have a .222 that is quite accurate, so the smaller bores are currently covered.

You are correct: "Not an AR, but not bad." Many rifles will fill that bill including the SKS, Garand, Hakim, FN ABL and Tokarev. In my opinion, all are better than the AR.

Adam
