I will have enough money to get either an M1 Garand or an AK soon. But I dont know which one I want.

One of the big things is ammo price. If I cant afford to shoot it then its no fun. Ive gone shooting every Sunday for the past 3 months or so. I have about 200 rounds of surplus .30-06 saved up, but that wont last too long. How much can you get cheap .30-06 for plinking?

I already have an AR and an M1 Carbine. So I can either get the ARs arch nemesis. Or I can get the M1 Carbines big brother. Help me decide.
