no I only just recently moved to the usa so im buying all the toys i never could have at home. got it without a scope and added it later not gonna lie I like it better without it but completely defeats the purpose of it lol
 
I only have a 300 m range here but will give it a good shot next week when I get the 81SR. Hit it already with my swiss rifle and iron sights, we shall see. But the ammo was GP11, so.

I bet most of the people complaining about the rifle not coming in any other calibre don't shoot past 300m anyways. This will be a fine plinker up to a few hundred meters.
 
time will tell but im pretty sure some including myself will try for fun farther than 300 m ... our range can help up to 500 meters and we have stations at 300 and 387 meters as well of course 100 and 200 ...

Same thing out in SE BC here, only issue is finding spots to "walk" that distance. Plenty of places to shoot across valleys, but less places where you can set up targets every 100 yards out that far
 
The 7.62x39 cartridge has an effective range of 500m. But I read online that with a match grade 110 grain bullet, and the casing full, you can push it further. The 7.62x54r is actually not a very good round, the recoil is about 2 x as much as the 7.62x39. That's why they developed the 308 round which can push even further than the 7.62x54r. When shooting a 308 in comparison to a 7.62x51, you feel the recoil increase. Take a 308, load it with 7.62x51 and a SKS to the range, you can see that you are usually done after 20 rounds of 7.62x51 but keep on shooting the SKS until you run out of ammo. There is not much demand for 7.62x54r even with so many Mosins around. 7.62x39 all day long.

Kinda the same around here..I've got great spots but my one spot where you could set up multiple distance targets got deactivated...couldn't even walk a horse through one of those ditchs
American Billionares get to do what they want...
 
So you have the "possibility" to shoot past 300m, who has actually done it? No problem with a 308 bolt action rifle. Or is it just talk?

7.62x51 has very similar ballistics to 7.62x54R, so it's advantages are not really in it being able to push the bullet further. It is rimless and it makes it a lot easier to feed from magazines and also it is inherently more precise because of the way it headspaces.

Prairie province shooters often have the chance. On my private land i could shoot kilometers if i had the rifle and the skill. But i have neither lol, so i comfortably LARP my x39s in the coulees plinking at 200-400m. Things arguably any .223 setup or factory sks could do just as good. But wheres novelty in that ?
 
I'm really curious as to why it appears the gas system was lengthened. Simply for aesthetics? Or does it offer any practical benefit?

I'm building a target range out to a mile. Currently have targets out to 900 yds. A 762x54 SVD would be a fun challenge.

There is such a thing as a match grade .311 110gr bullet?

I've run both 110gr and 125gr bullets in my 308 and the 110gr bullets suffer from very short bearing surface and so need to be seated deeper into the case neck. The 125gr Ballistic Tip is a way better bullet with a better BC. I do not see any possibility of a 110gr bullet outperforming a heavier bullet at long distances.

I've never shot a 762x54 but the ballistics are not overly different from the 308. What I can see being a big difference in recoil is the Moisin Nagant rifle is fairly lightweight compared to the typical 308W target rifle.
