The ak is fine as a battle rifle, but it's a no go as a hunting rifle for me. I love ak's don't get me wrong, I have one. I was merely stating it's limitations. I know it makes a great defensive rifle and also a good plinker and battle rifle but it doesn't compare to a hunting rifle for hunting.
My advice would be to get a good 03-A3.
How easy is it to get replacement parts for an 03-A3? Can they be found in stock online at any time and shipped to your house in a few days? Does the average Dunham's or Dick's have replacement parts and accessories to the 03-A3?
Simple bolt rifle in .243 or up.
Make sure it has iron sights, get a medium cost low power scope and spring for some lens covers
Of all the centerfire rifles I currently own they would still be in the safe but my 10/22 would be with me as well as about 10,000 rounds and several spare mags in a back pack.
I will admit I've been eyeing a 10/22 Magnum recently though.
