Nov 6, 2011 · I prefer the SKS, more powerful round than the AR and longer range than the AK due to the longer barrel. If you find one with a good bore then accuracy should be good with good ammo, just like any other rifle. I look at the SKS as being a …

Sep 8, 2011 · If the laws don't prohibit you from buying an AK-47 I suggest a Saiga AK-47. More expensive than an SKS but not by much and cheaper than the Mini-30. Magazines and accessories a plenty for the AK. If law prohibits you from buying an AK then I'd personally go with the SKS. Lots of love for that firearm.
