Well.I don't live in Afganistan..I live in West Texas. My little bushmaster has gone about 3 years without a cleaning..probably 6000 rounds..being drag through the dusty sagebrush fields. Chasing pigs. The only issue I have ever had is shooting the hell out of it and leaving a round in a hot chamber overnight. Case sticks in chamber after its fired. Just gotta remember to get the case out of the chamber and let it cool a few minutes. Maybe ill clean my Ar 15 next year..after deer season.

Well..again..not a competition between the guns..but I do love my bushmaster...id love it more if it had a floated barrel though.:-)

[armedtotheteeth1974]

yeah i know. people start wars over Ars vs Aks. morons cant accept the fact that we are just out shooting. the Ak goes Bang and so does the Ar..everydamn time. Aks are cheap..Ars are not. I have seen the cz that shoot the 7.62s..and they are accurate..as most czs are..esp with the neat trigger that they have. its not the round that makes aks shoot like crap..its the piece of barn tin they use to stamp out a receiver.

Well..with handloaded ammo..and optics..this one shoots about 4 to 6 MOA. There is a lot of slop built into these guns.

Redmartian..opinions are like assholes..everybody has one and they stink. Anyways..shot that same ar 15 this weekend and a iron gong that was 6 in by 8 in. Range measured by gps was .35 MILES. Id say I was about 80 percent for a gong. No damn chance in hell a saiga could do that. Oh..I served in the military..don't fuckin play that card

[armedtotheteeth1974]

Well.if you where going to war againsts me..id hope you'd use the Saiga too. Id sit back at 400 yards poppin skulls with a Ar15. The Jamomatic reputation is 40 years ago. And the saiga isn't inaccurate because of the round..its inaccurate because of the action bein all clanky and loose. I have seen a few bolt action 7.62x39s and they are pretty accurate. I haven't cleaned my ar15 in probably 2000 rounds..and it doesn't care. They don't like steel laquered ammo though..they like brass.

Actually the Jamomatic reputation is current.

Guess you missed the memo from what is occuring in Afganistan and Iraq.

@texas1807 well this is because the .223 and 556 NATO were made mainly as a cal to injure rather than to kill, you injure one enemy and you take 3 enemies out of the fight, simply because it takes 2 people, and at times one body to move and injured person, however within the hunting aspect and remingtons acu-bond .223 bullet for big game hunting seems to be carrying its own weight, but iam with you on the .308 i would have no issue taking a bear with a .308, .223 HELL NO

@armedtotheteeth1974 with bushmaster and remington merging you can now find an offspin of the remingonts R-25 with bushmaster styling, both have a free floated chrome lined barrel both in 22" and 18" barrel lengths, i personally like the 18" feels alot more ballenced with less weight at the muzzle, starting cost is $1200, at least thats what it is here, and i live in Upstate NY

[texas1807]

lot of smack talk here and the saiga 308-1 is more dependable than any bushmaster although the bushmaster is more accurate But under 500 yards and that is most conflict/hunting it may not be able to hit a man between the eyes a chest shot yes the 308 can punch holes through block walls.cars and body armor The bushmaster is great for target shooting but i will stay with my 308 as a battle weapon

[FOXnewsAlien]

come on, cant beat bushmaster. Sorry, but bushmaster are the best.

This page is full of the AK video war game players and the tweekers, the glue sniffers and ignorant kids that think any gun made in Russia is something so superior that can blow down buildings, shot a man in the eye at 2000 yards, shot billions of rounds and never fail and Russia is a cool soft friendly country where thy can even call Putin and say hay lets have a Beer at the pub !

American and Canadian kids move back from your computer war games and get the real facts before posting crap !

@armedtotheteeth1974 Say have you seen the CZ bolt action rifle chambered in 7.62x39 Russian ?

That little gun is amazing shooter, light compact !

I also build AR's professionally for resale through some gun shops, the AR that I sell the most of is in 7.62x39 .

I use Pac-Nor or Krieger 308" barrels 20" or 24" SS on Bushmaster receivers so my guns shoot 1/4" groups @ 100 yards.

So the 7.62x39 cartridge can shot well if the gun is built well, but in any junk AK style gun forget the accuracy !
