My local range has several "action rifle" events, which are something like IDPA matches, only with rifles instead of pistols.
Most everyone competes with some kind of AR. Not wanting to spend that much on a rifle that I might use 6 times a year, I got a mid-priced AK47, and mounted a red-dot scope on it. I also replaced the trigger group on it. I have not had a single misfire, misfeed, or any other kind of problem with it. I think it's kind of cool when me and my $400 rifle outshoots some of the other guys and their $1200 ones.
My question is: what other improvements or additions would you all suggest I do to it? I'd like to get the best accuracy from it that I can, and adding to it's "cool factor" wouldn't be a bad thing either.
Keep in mind that I don't expect my low cost rifle to be a tack driver at 500 yards, (we're only shoot at 50-60 yards max) nor do I want to put a huge amount of money into it (if I was going to do that I would have gotten an AR to start with) nor will this gun ever be used for self-defense (I have other options for that).
