the duck of death Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I can get a SLR Bulgarian 7.62X39 AK with a milled receiver for $500 or a WASR-10 7.62X39 Ak with stamped receiver for $300. Are either of these rifles suitable as a limited rifle in 3 gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacMan Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 The Bulgarian would be a much better gun than the WASR, if you are set on getting an AK for 3 gunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dunn Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Wouldn't be my first choice. ARs rule in 3 gun. Does sound like fun, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Have shot about a dozen 3gun competitions & used a Bulgarian SLR-97 for the last one (and won: www.mpsa.net). HOWEVER, the 3 gun in the VA/MD section tends to be 120 yards or less - usually far less; lat match had maybe 75 yards as the longest shot. We even shoot 3 gun indoors here - at least in the 50 yard range they have set up down there in the basement of the NRA HQ building. AK is viable there. Past 120 yards & the AK is hard pressed to hold "minute of D zone" w/ any speed; poppers at 300 would be near impossible w/ the light 16" barrel on my trusty AK. I have another AK in .223 that I re-crowned and will outfit with a 74 comp - it might hold its own to 150 - possibly beyond. Why did I use the SLR? The club created a "he-man" class calling for a .30 cal rifle, a .45 pistol and a pump 12 gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
