I’ll say new technology in these rifles is progressing forward like AR technology did in the early 2000’s. If you are ready to spend the money they can be as accurate as AR rifles, at the same cost. Some of the nicest stuff is made by Meridian. Or upgrading the handguard and dust cover to Zenitco parts will help an older rifle. Do not expect an office the shelf surplus rifle to be better than 2 MOA, it’s not happening. Are we talking AR or AK rifles, I guess this should be clarified
