People say that AK's are innacurate but they are wrong. Have yours boresighted and add a good AK74 compensator and you can hit a 12 metal gong at 300yds all day long. Take your time and practice regularly. They have there place in close combat but I still prefer a Remmington 700P bolt action hunting rifle. Add a high end reliable scope and you are set. If you can keep distance between yourself and the enemy you have a much better chance of lasting a while.
