I had a wasr and it shot fine with out any problems. It was fun and pretty cheap to shoot. Then I bought a Polytech AK and what a difference in accuracy and overall feel, just a great ak. Then I decided I wanted a Vepr and found one of the Robinson VeprII in 7.62x39 with a 20" barrel and a Russian scope and it's as accurate as my AR @ 100yds and of course cheaper and probably more reliable. Like others have said I like them all.
