I picked up a real nice M48 for $129 from a local dealer. It's nice to be able to look through a bunch of them and choose the one you like best.

I think Mitchell sells the M48s with all the accessories so there is some value in that.

The Yugo is a pretty nice gun for the money.
However, if your just getting into the milsurp rifles you might want to look for a good Czech VZ24. They have a slightly shorter barrel and handle very nice. They have the more standard size mauser action and the fit and finish is pretty good. The stockwork is also more interesting, cherry colored with lots of sling fittings.

Best to check out your local gun shows where you can look at them before purchase.
