AK-47 is the absolute best bang for the buck.

If your used to a 410 and a .22 then you should upgrade to a old school m44 (can be found for close to $40 at pawn shops) or maybe a good used 30.06

M44's are awesome but thats if you want a short bolt action, but like i said if your looking for some semi-auto AK47 will be your best bet.

for ak's get either a converted saiga (sporterized from factory), saiga ak (ak from factory), or a norinco ak/mac 90 (some of the nicest ones but get a stamped receiver)
saiga $250 ($300 converted)

saiga ak $450

norinco stamped $500-1000


dont even waste your time on wasr 10's, hungarian, mahdi, bulgarian, or any other 3rd world country's ak variants. i presonally stay away from milled receivers becuase that is not staying tur to kalishinkov (although his first ones were milled).

check your local big 5 or whatever your local area sports store is for m44's. Big 5 frequently has those m44 mosin nagets on sale for $89. This plus 400 rounds of surplus ammo for $65'ish and your going to be having some fun for a while. The muzzle flash that comes out of these things is nothing short of amazing. Not to mention its just about the loudest thing you can shoot to. Always get looks when I take it out.



Also if you want an ak and dont give a ---- about needing to own a nice one just get the wasr-10 there on sale all the time for about $399. Ive seen for $350 to but thats pretty rare. They spray paint the receiver black and the wood is ----. But its a damn ak so it will work as intended for ------- ever.

yeah an m44 is a bog gun in a little package. fun to shoot but after a while it will wear out your arm. good gun though. im not too into bolt action, but i love this one.
