What's the most accurate SKS?

Hello everyone,
        I've always noticed that there are a lot of different manufacturers of an SKS.  Depending on who I'm talked to in the past they are either highly accurate rifles or complete peices of junk.  I honestly don't know anything about them other than they eat cheap ammo and some day they may be banned.  Anyone care to educate me?

I have or have had quite a few of them and it seems to be luck of the draw. The absolute most accurate one I have ever had is a Chicom. I have probably had two dozen SKS type rifles so I've been able to compare them.

The other variable is ammunition but even that seems to differ between guns. That's been my experience (however limited) with the SKS design.

I have found them all pretty equal except the so called "PARATROOPER" model.
(An importer creation) . Average about three inches at 100 meters.
Plenty accurate for it's intended purpose.

Teddy12b,

I have a chinese version of the sks and it is pretty darn accurate. I bought it from a friend of mine for a $100 and it was well worth it. I had one when I was younger too. It was a russian model with the folding stock and it wouldn't hit the broad side of baseball stadium. I think it more the stock than the gun though. The stock would wobble when extended instead of locking up tightly like it should have.
