i have a norinco sks that takes AK mags....dead on accurate with the iron sights. love it!!
If you are going to hunt or shoot with any degree of accuracy then get an SKS. If you just want a more expensive way to burn through ammo then get an AK.
I'm not sure how your rifles shoot, but this is how my AK shoots with Tula steel-cased ammo and stock iron sights...
Were you using something bigger than the 2.5" square as an aiming reference
be that as it may, you are comparing aperture sights to leaf sights. true the leaf sights can be graduated to 1200 yards but I would love to see anyone hit anything smaller than a tour bus at that range with a 7.62x39 of any model with open sights. aperture sights are much easier to shoot accurately and offer much clearer sight picture than fuzzy leaf sights. if you are so far away that you need to hold over you probably shouldn't be shooting with irons anyway.To reiterate a point I've made here before using this borrowed picture, the AK sight radius is just as long as this Colt AR's.
the SKS/M was designed to take AK47 mags. a number of conversions are out there to allow SKS to use a proprietary detachable magazine as well however as stated, stripper clips are faster in the long run.doesnt a some chinese SkS have that removable magazine?
