OK, I'll bite. I've got an AK and I love it. It's also a blast to shoot. It's nice and compact. I think it's a great gun within a range of about 100 yards. I'd go with 7.62 x 51 for versatility.RJGold wrote:Thanks Dude.TheDude wrote:I think he means a 7.62x51 not 7.62x39.EEllis wrote:I have been looking for a mini 30 myself but don't forget about the SKS.

I didn't specify but I was thinking NATO not Warsaw Pact.
Maybe I should broaden my horizons so I'll take comments on the other 7.62 as well.

Re: I want a 7.62 / .308
I love my M1A, but perhaps I'm a little nostalgic as I had an M14 in my room in college, and shot the M14 while I was in the military. It's somewhat heavy compared to an AR, and more unwieldly (unless you get a SOCOM version), but it's a blast to shoot.RJGold wrote:I want to add something in 7.62 / .308 to my collection. I am trying to decide between something on an AR frame vs. an M1A style.
I know there are as many opinions as there are options but I wanted to get some feedback frome some of you who already own one or both in terms of pros / cons or lessons learned:
Thanks in advance for your input...
Let 'er rip!!!
