Title: Range Report: SKS Rifle at 100, 200, 300, and 400 yds
Post by: rjinga on December 06, 2017, 12:40:18 AM

I made a trip to my gun club today.  I don’t know if there’s an official term for the shooting stance, but I sat at the bench, resting both elbows on it as I fired at the paper targets.  I was shooting Golden Tiger ammunition.  Iron sights; no scope or optic.  I tried to aim for the center of the targets.

Rear sight on 100 meter position at 100 yds:

Rear sight on 300 meter position at 300 yds:

I obviously need to aim a little lower at this distance.  The arrow is pointing toward the bullet hole just above the head that I didn’t get in the photo.

Here’s the link to the video of me shooting at the steel silhouette at 400 yds, using the 400 meter rear sight position.  I held on the bottom of the silhouette:

I'd gladly take 50% on target at 400 with an SKS  thumb1
