I'm looking to buy a semi auto 7.62X39 rifle. Price of ammo is the main reason for wanting this caliber. I have read so many people talk of it not being very accurate. This rifle is going to be used for fun more than anything else. I just want to be able to stretch the range out farther than I have been shooting my rimfires and still be on the cheap. But a rifle thats not accurate isn't very fun to me. I plan on using both a scope and iron sights. I like the price of the sks but am willing to spend a little more. I shoot some paper and like to plink at charcoal bricks, tylenol bottles and pop cans. I would also like the option of using hi cap mags. (because its fun) So my question is. What is the most accurate rifle with what i'm looking for. Keep in mind I can't afford to spend $1000 on it either. Can these rifles be tweaked by a good smith to be more accurate? I know choice of ammo has a lot to do with it, but I have .22's that will almost shoot as well with fed. bulk as they do with match ammo. I'm a newbie to centerfire so please help.
