There are some rested, handloaded, scoped, magic moment groups about 2" out there, but do not seriously expect under 3" with any regularity.
VEPR uses the heavier RPK receiver, and SAM7 is a heavier milled receiver. |

My rested, scoped VEPR K .223 is capable (more than I am hehe) of wonderful accuracy..........light it ain't.

a saiga conversion in .223 is the only rifle that will end up coming close to meeting your expectations in weight and accuracy.
unless...you want to go pre-ban and try the valmet or galil rifles. neither are light, though. |

Ok, maybe 1-2" @ 100 yards was a little optimistic - I'll save that for my bolt guns! I can live with 3-4". 5-6" is pushing it though.
It looks like the Saiga with some straight-forward conversions will be a good gun for me - accurate (for an AK), reliable, and will take high-cap mags. Or am I missing something? |

If you're interested in the classic AK look and 7.62x39 caliber,I'd have to recommend the Arsenal SAM 7.
BTW,Welcome To The Dark Side!

For a first rifle in 7.62x39 ..And one you will Not be dissappointed in... A SAM 7 or it's Cousin the SLR101S . The SLR101S is alittle cheaper..It comes with no cleaning rod and no cleaning rod attachment under the barrel. I paid $500 for my SLR . A SAM will be alittle more $550-$650 . But look around ..Sometimes you can get a steal... They are sweet... WarDawg

Strong bargain if you can do it yourself, and do not need the milspec handgaurds. Sliding the milspec handguard retainers requires drifting out the pins for the gas block. Some find dremel vent holes and foil a fair bargain. Done for about $400ish. |

That what I want to get. But I can't find one. FAC and Aim Surplus don't have any. Does anyone know of any other online sources? (with good prices, of-course) |

No offense, but for what most of us use an AK for, ie. blasting/plinking, just about any version would do. I understand the desire for the best of a kind, but as the old saying goes "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear."
I have a US parts converted MAK90 and an SAR 1. Both will shoot 5-6" at 100 yards which is about all you need with one of these. |
