Hmm, the MAK 90s are very nice and are very accurate too. How accurate do you need to be for your given task? If I could afford it I would go with a good AK hands down. For the money though the SKSs are hard to beat. None of these will be shooting as tight of groups as say Recon's 700 though.
Yup, the SKS or the AK wont shoot as tight, or anywhere near it, as my new 700 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> that baby is DEAD-ON. But then again, its apples and oranges there again.
The Saigas are variants of the AK and are subject to ones opinions. In terms of reliability, they are very much and i mean VERY MUCH identical to the AK and SKS in terms of the gas operated system. They are not as common as the AK or SKS or course... Personally, I favor the tradiational setup of the AK47 or the rugged, oddly short SKS. those that shoot the SKS know what i mean by "oddly short". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
