“So if I was heading out into the bush for years, I would take the AK. For a fight were accuracy matters, the AR/M16.”
As long as you stay in “the bush” 100% of the time. First time you have to cross wide open space, you are dead meat to the first fellow with a bolt gun or AR who sees you at 300 yards.
I don’t think living “in the bush” 100% of the time is feasible. A single “do it all” rifle MUST be able to protect you out to 500 yards or better.
And an AK just can’t do that. It’s fine as a squad issued weapon if you have a “designated marksmen,” but as a solo operator, it just leaves you helpless if you are caught in the open.
Good points.
A few buddies of mine keep telling me “accuracy doesn’t matter in a fight”. Being one who only will shoot a tight grouping rifle, I never wanted to believe them.
In fact, my AR A2 upper is right about an inch at 100 yards. Iron sights right now, and from a bench. Want to get a small optic for the carry handle mount.
