My Chinese type 56 will consistently hit a 9 inch gong at 300 meters as long as I do my part

I just posted this elsewhere, but figured I'd post here, as well.

I am 10/10 on a 12 inch target at 100 yards using the "1" setting. Nowhere near what I want to be for accuracy (groupings).

My groupings were all left of center, from 7 o'clock to 11 o'clock, a few inches apart, but walking up the side of the target.

Ammo choice at the moment is Tula 122 grain steel cased FMJ. It's dirty, but cheap (?) at $5.25 for a box of 20.

One of my sks shoots 1moa at 100y all day long.     :)
LC, are those the 1-shot groups?

I read a lot of post replies (around the web) where sks owners swear up and down that their sks gets consistent 1-2" groups at 100 yards.

Admittedly, my 100 yard vision isn't great. Howevr, at 50 and 75 yards I can see both  target and irons perfectly, and still the best groups I get are 3-4" at best with 5" being the standard.

At 100yds these open up to about 9-10" groups (mostly because of my eyes)

Q: Is anyone really getting CONSISTENT 1-2 MOA groups on standard configuration sks, or are these claims just the shooting world's version of  fish tales?

Is it just me?

4 to 5 inches for me too
