Wow, I may be able to retire on my .303 hoard (I wish).
The Norinco 7.62 NATO has a good reputation, if somewhat smelly to shoot. Is it a decent price, only you can decide. Two years ago FNM and Hirtenberger were $300/1000. These days, $500 and up is the going rate for surplus 7.62 NATO. I wouldn't pay that much, but I'm cheap and on a budget.
I've only got 2k of FNM for my N14 so I don't shoot it much. I bought a CZ858 for a range blaster to take advantage of the cheap 7.62x39 that's available right now.
