This is "The Snow Leopard" (because of the splotchy stock); she's a Chinese Type 56 SKS from Arsenal 26, manufactured in 1962.

Test Firing at the Indoor Range Before I Bought It
First target: 25 yds; standing, offhand; Tulammo; five shots at the X and five at the head (1st shot at each group marked).

Second target: same specs as first target (without 1st shots marked).

Shooting at the Outdoor Range after Purchase (same day)
25 yds; bench rest; Tulammo; the bulls-eye has a 3" diameter; 10 rounds. I tried a 6:00 hold on the first shot and it's the one at the bottom of the bulls-eye. On the second shot, I tried a POA/POI hold, and the impact was almost dead center.

50 yds; bench rest; Tulammo; the 10-ring has a 7" diameter; 10 rounds. I think I was trying a POA/POI hold again.

50 yds again; bench rest; Monarch ammunition; POA/POI hold; 10 rounds. I was firing a little quicker than previously.

100 yds; bench rest; Monarch ammunition; POA/POI hold; 10 rounds.

100 yds again; bench rest; Tulammo; POA/POI hold; the 9-ring has a 13" diameter; nine rounds. Even though the Monarch seemed to shoot high, I suspected that the Tula would shot lower with the same hold, and that appears to be the case.

One target at 50 yds and another next to it at 51 yds; standing off-hand (trying to do the elbow on the hip thing); Tulammo; alternating shots at each target; 20 rounds.

Looks like minute of man to me! thumb1

Definitely minute of man.
How did you enjoy shooting her for the very first time?!

they are fun to shoot. thumb1

Test firing with 40rds before you bought it?! :o I haven't run into a shop that allows that yet. There's only one in town that is a dealer and shooting range combination and they've never had anything I wanted, so maybe they allow it.
Like others said, minute of man will get the job done and as you get even more comfortable it'll get better. Looks like you already improved upon going from the indoor range to outdoors. thumb1

Even with the short LOP and the sights, I LOVED IT!

Excellent! thumb1. They are certainly a pleasure to shoot. Watch out, they have a tendency for reproducing in your safe.
