The red dot scope was scrapped because of the inability to hold zero.

When I was looking for an AK, I considered the VZ, but decided I wanted more capability to interchange with various models - kinda like choosing a Windows-based computer over an Apple.

Hey....little off the subject but do you guys remember when you could buy the SKS's for $130.00 all day long.....WOW where did the good old days go?

Czech VZ-58 (no, it's not an AK).

Someone mentioned the CZ-527 for the best in the accuracy department. (within the first few responses)

There's also a Reminton "mini-Mauser", that I think's made by a Turkish company.

This would be another route should you want a bolt action gun.

I like the side folder with synthetic look better than the above. The B&T railed handguards look pretty awesome, and the Troy looks decent too.

There are about 5 different stock styles for them, 5 different hand guards, 3 different pistol grips, left side bolt handles, etc. The companies that make accessories for them are few, but the accessories are all quality, because the military uses for these rifles mainly lie with their special forces groups.

I used to have a cheapo AK and shot it side by side with a friends SKS and the group the SKS shot was half the size. That debate will never end between the advantages of an AK with a 75rd drum or an SKS that's more accurate with less capacity.

I did see one rifle that I thought was pretty amazing. If I remember right the guy in the gunstore said it was a norinco or something like that, but it's an SKS that's made to accept AK magazines. To me that seems like it'd be the best of both worlds. Decent accuracy with the ability of high or low capacity. I'm no expert in those rifle, but I think it may be a good option to consider when looking for a 7.62x39mm

Save your money and avoid an arsenal.

Get a saiga 7.62x39 and convert it for $100 and a dremel tool.

VZ- 58 ----- end of discusion

What it comes down to is we stumbled onto this rifle in search of the perfect battle rifle, and now that we have found it, we want everyone to know its out there. The only thing we stand to gain is maybe the aftermarket will grow, although all of the accessories out there are quality.

GUNMAN41MAG, If you want to see what i'm talking about i will meet you.

[Gator762]

How does that mini-30 shoot? I've tried miny 14's in the past but thay didn't shoot vary true. I wish mine i had, because i really liked them. I have a freind that has one and it shoots vary good, about 2 moa, and mine about 6-7 moa. And whats wrong with Century?
