I've got one. I would think hunting hogs would be fun as heck to do with the ak. Unless your the hog. The prices have come down in the last couple of years. __________________

Should I just buy a ak or save up for a ar because I rather spend more money on something more reliable | |

An AK is more or just as reliable as a AR in my opinion. I have had great luck with my WASR. | |

That would be a personal choice. For the amount you said, that is alot of fire power for the buck. I know wasr 10 is on the low end of the ak spectrum but I have had nothing but fun with mine. Reliable is what an ak is known for. __________________

A shooting buddy has a WASR10, and i have thoroughly enjoyed shooting it, as has he. It has been VERY reliable, and there are many aftermarket accessories available for it. That sounds like a good price to me, but you should look around first. __________________

It's so cheap because there are TONS of them. Not bad for the money, but if you're expecting the same level of fit and finish as say a $400 American made hunting rifle, you'll be disappointed. I was in the market for an AK to add to the collection, and shot a couple of WASR's in the process. Yeah, they seemed "bullet proof", and yes, they performed with acceptable accuracy. I just couldn't get past how primitive they felt compared to ANYTHING I had fired before, not just my AR's. I know this comment will have some label me as an AR snob...that's fine. But its just my opinion. I'm not looking for a fight with the Kalashnikov fans here. The design itself is "as advertised". I'll have an AK someday, just not a WASR. __________________

The WASR-10 is what it is. A good AK-47 at a great price point.
If you want a "Upscale" AK get a Arsenal. | |
