I have a few AR’s In both 7.62x39 and .223, and I have my old Norinco AK from the early 80’s. Plus my Ruger Mini14 tactical, so I almost have all my bases covered, just need to get a Mini30 and I’m completely covered. Caliber wise I’ll take 7.62x39 all day long, it’s literally my favorite caliber. Within any range that’s practical for me, out to 200yds, I’ve taken good sized Northern deer with it no problem. As far as accuracy my Norinco AK has been capable of ringing a 12” plate at 300 yds with iron sights shooting Russian ammo back when I had good eyes around 30+ years ago, unfortunately it cost me the price of a new plate for the club due to the damage it did to the plate. My current AR and the Mini30 I used to have both shoot under 2MOA at least to 200yds which is more than sufficient to do the job.
