I know this might be basic and somewhat cliché, but for some reason, virtually every time I see a rifle from the AK-100 series some small part of my brain yearns to collect every one of them.
This also extends to the Izmash Tigr ((:
The AK-200 series is also a very strong contender, but I don't know how many of the SNAFUs of the AK-12 it shares.
However, for various reasons and considering my mental health record I'm virtually unable to legally own firearms in Germany in the first place.
Additionally, I suppose all the mentioned rifles have either become hard to get and/or exceedingly expensive, because of sanctions and such.
sadge indeed 😔
Most likely I'll just join one of the culturally more modern Air gun associations (Schützenverein) that's not too far away from me...
I know basically nothing about it, but I can imagine that 7.62x39 is significantly better for hunting than 5.56x45
Also legal for large game unlike the .22 calibur 5.56mm round
