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 ItFirst 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).
Third target: 7 yds; resting arms on counter; Tulammo; three shots; the squares are 1", the bulls-eye has a 1-3/4" diameter, and the 10 ring has a 3-1/2" diameter.
Forth target: same specs as third target.
Fifth target: 15 yds; resting arms on counter; Tulammo; four shots.
Sixth target (the bottom of the sheet, so I flipped it over): 25 yds; resting arms on counter; Tulammo; ten shots.
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.
