Thoughts on IWI Galil Ace Gen II 7.62x39, 16"

[Bitterending]

Looking to get my first Rifle not new to guns but been eyeing this for a while.

Would love to hear the pros/cons of this vs getting an AR. This Stag was my second pick.

Have you considered the compromise of a 5.56 Galil Ace?
7.62x39 is kind of expensive to shoot currently

Ammoseek has 7.62x39 at $0.42/rd and 5.56 $0.38/rd. Not a dramatic difference.

I do agree it’s a good question to ponder which caliber you want to get into.

I'm reading that 7.62 is alot more fun to shoot, and I won't lie the Galil just looks good. I do plan on getting FFL03 to get these cheap ammo deals!

It really is quite fun. You'll get the full experience with the rock and lock of the AK mags too

There is someone selling an Ace G2 in 7.62x39 on the classifieds!
