My sister bought mine for my nephew in the mid 90s for less than a $100. I bought it from him a few years later for $150. I’ve seen them for $300-$350 pretty consistently the last ten years. $350 is probably a decent price for the rifle, they are decent shooters and ammo can still be had for a reasonable price. I found a new synthetic Monte Carlo stock for mine at a gun show for around $40 several years ago and I like it on that format.
I like the 7.62x39 round. It’s a nice round for varmints with enough punch to take down a deer. It’s still cheaper to shoot than my AR. A gun range in a neighboring county sells ARs built for the round for around the $400 price.
