I have 2 SKS's. One of them has been modified and the other original. I also have a Ruger Mini 14. I really only need one SHTFG and I'm leaning towaeds keeping just the mini. Which one would you keep, the Mini or the SKS and why?

Sell both SKSsssss and get an AR.

I once had both a Mini-14 and an SKS. They were both rock solid reliable guns. The reason I don't have either anymore? The complete lack of accuracy. I have an AR now and wouldn't go back. The Mini, regardless of what ammo I fed it was lucky to shoot dinner plate size groups at 100 yds. The SKS was about the same although the only ammo it ever got was that crappy steel case stuff. The AR is a tack driver by comparison.. Just my two cents..
I think your question has been fully answered, and was the same recommendation I was going to give.
I've never owned an sks or mini14, so I really don't have a preference on which to keep. keep the one that shoots better for you.
I love my SAR-1.
However I would agree with what was said... sell both and get an AR.
Personally I would go with the sks. Mine is very accurate and since you have two you are already set up with a parts/backup gun. You cad try to trade the mini for an AK, that way you hace three SHTF guns that eat the same ammo.
I've had 2 Bushmasters and realy didn't like them. I didn't give them that much of a chance though. I'm going to take them all and shoot them and see what I think. Thanks for the info.
