Best I've gotten out of a SKS is 3 moa with tailored handloads. That's good 'nuf to 150 or so, minute of vital area on a deer. But it's no Remington 700. I prefer normal rifles without pistol grips, too, why I don't care much for the AR, but at least those things are accurate. Keep 'em clean and they work. I've heard it said that the AK was for conscripts, the untrained, the farmer who gets a rifle shoved in his hands and is told to march. The AR is for professionals, you know, like the American military, people who can shoot and are trained in how the thing works and how to keep it working.
For my purposes, for range fun and hunting, I'll take the SKS. The AK is just a gun I never really cared for too much. I'm sure it's fun at the range, but I got my SKS rifle for 75 bucks and my paratrooper carbine for 115. It was really the price that got me, I just couldn't turn it down, LOL!
