Gentlemen:
I'm seriously contemplating purchasing my first rifle in caliber 5.56. I've had favorable experiences in the past with Bushmaster rifles, and certainly wouldn't mind owning one, but I read that VEPR makes one mean AK (RPK?).
The prices of the two are generally comparable, and both manufacturers offer the barrel lengths and twist rates that I'm looking for.
For those of you with experience with both rifles, which do you prefer and why? What kind of groups can you get with the .223 VEPR? I intend to use the gun for recreational plinking and misc. emergency purposes--extreme accuracy (although desirable) is not a requirement.
Thanks in advance for any input!
