I have a number of ARs, I have a number of other rifles, but just haven't delved into the AK world.  I hear they're reliable, reasonably accurate, and cheaper to own.

What would be a good reliable accurate (reasonably) started AK available now?  If you were to buy your first, what would you purchase today?

Thanks!!

That boils down to what the buyer prefers. Every offering within those categories is a sound investment. Although I'm pretty sure the PSA GB2 hasn't really established itself yet.

That is perhaps the most universally hated ak out there. There's a post in this very forum about someone with problems after 60 rounds.

Quoted:
Just took a closer look at the front trunnion of my new RAS47. The rear part of the trunnion that houses the left trunnion lug is bent outward. When the bolt is fully locked, only about 20% of the left bolt lug face makes contact with the trunnion lug, not the full lug surface is being used! Now, this small bolt lug surface has to suck up all the bolt thrust, which causes already metal deformation/metal folding on the bolt lug face, due to the trunnion lug face not being parallel with the bolt lug face. This rifle has only 60 rounds of American Eagle through it!

I know, I'm just commenting that it seems a lot of people always just say Arsenal, Century or DDI when referring to a rifle, when each importer/builder has multiple models available.
