I'm not a tactical guy but an accuracy guy. Once I've achieved what I consider the pinnacle I tend to lose interest. I have a Remington 788 that shoots in the high 1s/low 2s. I've put together a few ar15s that shoot into the 2s and 3s. Man are those ar15s easy to work on, just quality barrels and slightly undersized uppers and a little thermo fitting along with good triggers.
A friend issued me a challenge, build a very accurate ak47. Boy, that'd be fun but since Washington went full commie I can't buy components for any semi auto rifles here.
If I won a lottery and moved to a free state like Montana I'd be all over that challenge. I wonder how long it'd take me to make an ak into a credible bench rest rifle? I would really enjoy that project.
It's just a fantasy, and I don't know if I could blow out the case enough to qualify for hunter bench rest but it'd be so cool to win or even place in a bench rest match with the ugly old ak47. I know what it felt like to turn in respectable aggs with my ar15s. The guys were amazed at what I could do there.
