I have been putting off this post for fear of starting a big to-do, this isn't my intent.
I have come into an unexpected $1000. I thought that I was going to buy a ruger mini-14 tactical, and 3 mags. But I have really been looking at the Arsenal sgl21, reviews and suchlike on the net.
I have not owned either in the past.
My thoughts are the .223 I can carry more ammo for the same weight, it's available, etc.
7.62x39 has a bit more 'punch' and thus possibly more felt recoil (not really a concern).
Like I said I have never fired or operated an AK type rifle, so I don't know how easy they are to clean, clear jams , etc,etc. (The same for the mini in truth).
The AK several of my friends have various models, so they could possibly help with learning how to field strip, etc.
I will place a scope on which ever rifle I get.
Most of my shooting experience is with bolt action rifles, and a lot of pistol shooting while I was on Active Duty.
The only reason I'm not considerring an AR is stricly price.
So what are your thoughts.
