LoneRider Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I've got a Saiga 7.62x39 rifle. Does anyone use the AK type platform in 3-Gun? It would go with my 1911 and Mossberg pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chendersby Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 In this country the AR15 rules the sport. Internationally there are lots of them. Shoot what you have and have fun. No reason to think you can't play just because you don't have an AR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 For club matches, why the hell not. I think it would be fun. For big matches, I think the disadvantages would be too much. What part of Texas are you from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have only seen one It was at Johnson 3gun...and it didnt work out very well, at long range it was about last place Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledge Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I've shot my Yugo at a few local matches. The two things against 7.62x39 for me is any targets over 200 yards (for me at least) and the fact that it is the same PF as .223, but with more recoil, so my follow up shots are slower. I have more fun shooting my AK, but would prefer to be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M ammo Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 AS long as the match is 100Yds or less..and not to many Mag changes,, ( that might just be my problem) you'll be good to go. Now and again I'll pull mine out, just for the fun of it. Are you in the Ft Hood area? Jim M ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4045 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I got one 223 that I tried at a local match. They are fun to shoot, but my AR is alot faster. It is still sitting here I plan to use it for hogs. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwx40x40 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I saw a Georgia Boy at Area 6 3 Gun spank a lot of high tech AR's with an SKS that was fed by AK47 mags. He even faired pretty good on the 300 yd stage. Oh yeah , he was shooting notch and post iron sights. If I new his full name I would go to USPSA.org and look up how he did. I am sure there are others that on this forum that know this gentleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledge Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 That's cool. I'd probably prefer to have a Model D or M SKS for most rifle stages than an AK. The extra sight radius can't hurt. I think that in general, SKS's are a little more accurate than AK's. I like to see people having fun, and shooting unconventional stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
