What would you buy

[tim2shu 48]

Ok just got my tax money and want to buy two rifles.

1. Want to get a 5.45 AK

2. Want to get a semi auto 308 for a sniper rifle. ( was thinking about an ar style so i could change the upper to diff cal )

 

Would like to know what everybody thinks are the best one's for the money?

Thanks for any help.

As with most things, it depends what you want it for. A 5.45 AK isn't going to be as accurate as the 308 AR, and the AR platform will likely not be as battle proof as an AK. The 5.45 will probably be less expensive.

5.45x39 is only going to be inexpensive until the surplus is still around. You missed out on cheap magazines, but the rounds are still inexpensive. .308 ARs won't change price anytime soon, and .308 is much more expensive to shoot. I'd buy a good supply of 5.45x39 while it's still a bargain along with some nice furniture.

its hard to go wrong with an AK.

I want to get both just trying to see what everybody thinks is the best of each for the money

Agree with above guys--.308 is going to be more expensive to buy and shoot, but more accurate. The AK is cheaper to buy and feed. But, they're both fun!

Do like me and stock up on 5.45 and then worry about buying the gun. Buy the one you think you would enjoy shooting more. If you want to shoot at longer ranges and shoot wefer rounds then get the AR. I'm not too knowlagable about ARs, but what caliber changes can you make on a AR-10 lower?
