Differences between the VZ 58 Sporter and the AK-47. The VZ 58 has a milled receiver, the AK-47 is stamped. Even with the milled receiver it is almost one pound lighter than a stamped AK-47. The bolt of the VZ 58 stays open after the last round in the magazine has been fired. The VZ 58 has a more natural point of aim and is faster handling.
Why the VZ 58 is better than AK-47? 58 has a titling locking bolt to the AK-47âs rotating bolt. In addition, the two firearms have completely different hammers, bolt stops and even magazines and feed systems. The Vz. 58 is about nearly a pound and a half lighter than the AK-47, with a weight similar to that of the American M16.

One of the challenges the VZ has is, besides the Century arms reverse-engineered version, it costs more than many AR15's to buy. If the imports could be marketed and sold below the cost of an AR15, especially the .223 version, then I could see the VZ gaining good market share with the accompanying R&D and available accessories that come with such market share.

+ Sa vz.58 is nearly a pound and a half lighter than the AK rifles, so the soldier can run a little bit faster , which can be key to some situations in game (running to point etc.) + Sa vz.58 used thanks to unique mechanism not only mags, but can be reloaded with stripper clips, if you run out of magazines.
I considered buying a vz 58 (cezch answer to the ak-47) which has a 30 round magazine and is generally pretty similar to the ak. But the magazines were so heavy and expensive. And especially cause they are all pinned to 5 rnds. My sks doesnt loose out at all, especially the fact that I can get 5 sks for one vs 58.
