Should I get a Mini-30 or an AK-47?

It’s pure speculation because it’s never been tried. The AK is accurate enough to hunt with. The boards are full of people who have and do. Optics are readily available.
What’s the difference between a Ruger and an AK?
I believe the difference is that an AK can do the same thing with the worst kind off steel cased corrosive ammo you can dig up. I am getting great accuracy and reliability shooting handloads using Winchester cases and bullets. My new Ruger has a better rear sight and equally good performance.
