For AK's, check out Red Jacket Firearms, Inc and watch this Sons of Guns - First 1,000-Yard AK.Get the AK first, then the Socom. AK’s = incredibly reliable, great short-mid range, enough power to knock em down good.
Socom = more distance, more power, more accuracy.
Odds are your needs are going to be closer up rather than farther away......
Of course, this is just my opinion....... :-)
