I have been researching buying either and AK or AR variant. I find the AR's pricey and I have decided on a Saiga AK, my question is which caliber 5.56 Nato or 7.62x39?
I can get one in either caliber and I was leaning towards a 5.56 in an AR but the price of a Saiga cant be beat.
So Im planning on using the rifle for all around purposes, possibly having fun building a zombie killer, but probably leave it pretty much alone. I will admit I dont know much about military rifles so I dont know what choice to make.
Im looking for opinions on the caliber, not necessarily the choice of rifle. Can you all enlighten me on the pros/cons of both calibers.
