Was kind of board and just want to get some peoples thoughts on this. I know a lot of people say that scopes aren't worth putting on a ak47(7.62x39) simply because the ballistics of the bullet aren't that great. Aren't the ballistics similar to a 30-30? But wouldn't maybe a 3-9x40 scope be worth mounting on an ak74. The 5.45x39 does have better ballistics compared to the 7.62 and is a very flat shooting round. I wouldn't think using it as a DMR would be practical, seeing as it would loose a lot of power out to 600 yards. But just maybe as a 1 to 400 yard mini super fast DMR. I'm guessing with a 3-9x40 scope with the super low recoil of ak74 you can get some pretty quick shots on target out to 2 or 300 yards no problem. Anyways, just my thoughts on this, might even become a project.
