Atlantic is a good dealer.
The 74 is pretty accurate despite the AK design.
The receiver doesn’t flex a lot with that round.
I love the AR15, and I think that is the best deal on the market for a .223 at the moment, but I enjoy lots of other platforms that perform very well.
When I got heavily back into firearms I went into foreign rifles. Believe it or not I don’t have an AR at all. I think I would like the new gas operated ones more than the older models. I never liked the “sprong!” when I fired them.
Still they are a great value in rifles...
