Range report:
It’s a great shooter!
Before I started sighting it in, I double checked the firing pin was free. Fired ten shots just to test function and ensure no runaways. Everything was good to go. First three round group was about 3 inches high and 2 inches left. Set rear sight at 200M, shooting at 25M. I got it centered up, and best group was 3/4 inch (two shots touching) all center hold. This was with Wolf 156 grain soft point however; I plan on checking zero again with the lighter loads.
We moved the target stand out to 100M and hung a hardened plate. I figured it would hit a little higher, so I held a six o’clock hold and hit ten for ten; same for the next 20. The plate is 12 inches round. We didn’t have time to move out farther...maybe another time.
We also shot a pre-ban Norinco AK, 302K serial number with a scope. I was as accurate with my SKS, I think primarily because I could get an actual cheeck weld. I think the trigger on my SKS is pretty decent...ran 100% also...I’m a happy camper!
I think I did a pretty good job cleaning out all the cosmoline, but it did smoke pretty good for about the first 20 rounds, so I think what remained has been heated out. Sorry about no pics; I dropped and cracked my phone and the camera is no longer working.
