2how I don't feel undergunned with an AK OR SKS, but superior, I don't agree, neither one of these is a good bet for precision shots, at 100 yrds. Minute of person, I'll give you that. I've shot them both at 500 meters, and I'll have to say, they keep their 3 moa out to that range. Thats no small thing. I don't currently have any AK'S, but still have 3 sks, one of which takes ak mags. I've got that one hot enough to make the hand guards smoke. and it keeps on ticking. I was able to make head shots @ 200 meters on an 8" steel head target prone under good conditions.As things progress, I hope someone will make a rifle that shoots the 7.62x39 accurately. The chinese surplus, has a surprisingly low standard deviation. 12 - 20 fps.
I've only been to one tournament that these rifles ruled. It was a run and gun match, the targets were hidden behind 8" logs that could not be seen, the .223 would not penetrate the wood and take down the steel, but the 7.62x39 would. Personally, that's why I love myM1'A'S.
