I have a GP WASR 10. Nothing fancy but it will get the job done.
I changed the furniture out for a composite fore-stock and collapsible but stock. If you have long arms like I do the factory butt stock will be to short for your length of pull, a add on collapsible will fix that.

The iron sights were terrible, way off and could not be adjusted in. Switched to a reflex optic mounted on the upper fore-stock and problem solved. All in all I have about 520.00 invested.

Not my favorite weapon but it has a place and a purpose. The trigger is rough but it eats any type of cheap ammo I feed it and its easy to maintenance.

WASR's are not to be considered "top shelf" so if your looking for the very best of the variant these rifles are not going to make you happy.

Thanks for the input. What I want is a rugged AK that is cheap and durable. Like in the $500-600 range. I suppose what I mean by 'top' is , most durable and reliable. Not necessarily the top of the line .

If those are your requirements then you should consider a WASR 10. Cheap, durable, never had a feed jam, or fail to fire.
You could bury it in mud, dig it up, wash it off, and start shooting.
500- 600 dollar price range will get you upgraded optics and better hardware than factory issue.
Happy shooting
