7.62x39 for Sniper rifle?
Talked to a cop buddy of mine and he said he was considering taking his AK-47 (MAK-90 to be exact) and using it as a Sniper rifle. I did not agree with his choice, but he stated this rifle (his rifle) was plenty accurate for the job. I own a Saiga 7.62x39 and would never consider it good enough for long range, 200 yard, precision shots. Not when I have a Savage 110 L.E in 30/06. Any thoughts?

here is a world of difference between a police sniper and the military sniper.
Police normally take a shot inside 100 yards...and some around here have been accomplished at 35-40 yards.
Normally, the police want DRT.the military isn't offended, normally, by wounding...and shots are as far as a men is capable. makes sense..beating feet from a hundred yard aroused enemy leads to having to train LOTS of snipers...
As far as the Semi-auto `not being accurate', or `not being the first choice' sniper weapon.that information is obsolete.
Todays semi-autos rival the best bolt actions in accuracy..with the ability to take out multiple targets with no movement save riding recoil.
Amen... HK tests theirs to shoot a 50 shot group in a 3" circle at 300Meters Just imagine what it will do before the barrel heats up for 50 shots.... Below is my SR9T
