An AR can ass-stomp a vz due to its ergonomics at any range, however I can get a hit on an IPSC target out 300 Meters with a VZ. I agree that one can push a 223 farther, faster, and straighter, as I use one to compete in F-Class out to 900 meters.

I should have clarified, the comparison I was referring to would be scoring ring and target type dependent. If we are talking about a general hit anywhere on a 'classic', then yeah, I'd agree the 'it's a wash' comment could be extended in range. If A zone hits are of significant importance, that range could run out to 100m or so.
I think running 5 rounders in both (or in games/courses of fire that force a change at 5 or fewer rounds) the ergonomics of the AR is pretty much a wash -again, assuming the same shooter has the same aptitude on both systems.
I just bought a VZ58 in 223. I put the adaptor kit on it and it now takes AR mags, a long with the lar mags. I haven't used it in a match yet but it's a sweet shooting rifle. With the mag adaptor installed it works just like an AR in dropping mags.I also have a AR and like it too. Both are fine rifles , but if you are looking for something a little different the VZ is the answer.......
