I have four Maks, two Bulgarians, and East German and a Commercial Russian IJ-70. The only minor negative some consider to the IJ-70 is the adjustable rear sight, but I've never had a problem with mine even carrying it on occasion but prefer to carry a Bulgarian due to the fixed rear sight.
The IJ-70 will be accurate and extremely reliable, but I do think $350 is high. $200 - $250 will get you a nice IJ-70 if you look a bit.
