I don't need something terribly accurate. When society collapses I don't see myself having to snipe, as I'm in an urban environment. Plus .223 was designed to wound, not kill. A 7.62 is accurate enough and is much larger round. Any suggestions that aren't .223/ 5.56?

its been mentioned a few times, but take a look at the AR10/15 platforms. I got plenty of trigger time on both and prefer either over AKs.

also, it truly depends on your shooting style, your proficiency, your preferences. There's never going to be a "perfect gun" that you can buy. But, there is a "perfect gun for YOU" that you can find. find a pal who has different guns, pay for the rounds and have them take you to the range. see what you like.

Here's a decent comparison from the Ar15 community in comparsion of AK47s to AR10s.

1) reliability - Draw
2) accuracy - AR10
3) lethality - AR10
4) customization - Draw
5) ammo availability / compatibility - Draw
6) parts availability - AK
7) portability - Draw
8) recoil - Draw
9) flash/sound suppression -Draw
