AK, AR, SKS range comparison, Trying to decide which to buy?

[Beiruty]

If sub-MOA is needed, quality bolt-action rifles are the answer.

Beiruty, I agree, but drjoker seems to have his mind set on a semi-automatic rifle.

If he is primarily concerned about accuracy and not wanting to pay the going rate for a high-quality semi-automatic, then a bolt action is a good alternative.

AK for reliability and engagement below 100yrds. AK74s are the modernized AKs. AR has better accuracy and lighter to carry around. Surprisingly, East germany AKs were super light. Its stock, grip and handguard were straight hardened plastic. None of those were designed as DMRs.

The proper answer to "which to buy?" is "all three" of course.
