Valmet Model 88 Hunter Rifle in .308 Winchester.

To me it vibes more like the original Fallout 1 .223 hunting rifle, but then again I'm obsessed with details so the PPSh inspired Combat Rifle looks very different to me

Honestly I prefer the fallout 3 assault rifle as I love the H&K G3

My exact first thought, It looks almost identical

In a world full of tacticool, this is very old-school cool. I always loved this form of rifle.

For some reason I read valmet as Walmart...and was very confused for a moment.

Only "AK" that's legal in Canada, government gave a bunch of them to indigenous communities for hunting so they cannot be banned. They go for like 4 g's here

I misread it as a VARMIT gun in a .308 and I thought wow that’s some pest to take care of!

Is that a Kalashnikov action? I recognize that selector lever

Does the Valmet M59 have a Kalashnikov action?How about the Valmet 412?

Mom come get me they bubba’d a Valmet

That's the second pattern of the Valmet Hunter/Petra, and the first large production pattern. This included standard RK controls (magazine catch and selector switch), but had the top cover screwn on from both the front and the rear.

In addition to the four major patterns of the rifle, there were also transitional models which incorporated features from two patterns, depending on the parts availability.

Honest question - aks aren‘t known for their precision (as they were mass produced obv. Known for still working under any condition alltho being not great - but still working) ist a special made ak based hunting rifle as good as one like an ar pattern one? Or maybe even better?

Genuine question I‘m not that much in the topic just curious.

The primary limiter on AK precision is the ammunition, as almost no one makes match grade 7.62x39 or 5.45x39. AKs that shoot 5.56 have a much higher ceiling for precision, but will still be limited by not having a free-floated barrel or stiff receiver.

You could make a really precise AK, but almost no one does, because it would be heavy as hell, and lose most of the qualities people look for in an AK.

An AKM from most military production is good for a 3"-4" group at 100 yards, good enough for hunting at any reasonable distance. Some models on the AK platform can easily do 2" at 100 yards so no problem there at all. For a combat or hunting rifle this is easily good enough accuracy for those purposes.

The "AK's are inaccurate" is very much overblown.

The AK74 pattern rifles again are good for 2" groups at 100 yards and in many militaries are required to hit a man-sized torso out to 400 yards/metres with just iron sights. Again, plenty good enough for the job.
