I've shot AK47 multiple times. I absolutely hate the ergonomics of a "base" variant - the stock is always too short for me and I'm only 5'-10" - but appreciate the relatively powerful round and ruggedness. I want it for plinking and HD, so the accuracy past 300 yards is of no concern. ( Heck I probably can't see things that far..) The only situation where I could even remotely need to use one is home invasion or a Ferguson style riot.. again likely not a long-range affair.
So, that said,
- what should I be looking for ? I'd like to keep it around $600 if possible.
- what good aftermarket accessories to make it more ergonomic and easier to shoot accurately without "Bubbarizing" it ? Two main improvements for me would be an adjustable stock and a red dot sight.
I did look at AR15 but it seems the NATO round is wimpy compared to 7.62, the .308 is 2x the price, it's more picky with regard to ammo, and AK is just bad ass But I am open to suggestions.
