Another one to at least consider is the PTR-91 or PTR-32. The 91 is in 7.62x51 (308) while the 32 is chambered for the AK round, the 7.62x39. The 32 uses the AK mags. These guns are made in South Carolina and are clones of the HK91 rifles. I have one of the PTR-32 rifles and have been completely satisfied with it. The company website:
