nice sks or cz858

I have both, but since ive had the CZ858 I havent shot the SKS once.
and why would you?
If your just throwing lead the SKS is fine. If you want to hit something I would go for the CZ.
nicest norinco sks will cost you half of the cz858 so start with that first and then graduate to the cz .
it depends on how much experience you have , i dont consider it an issue but maybe for you it is so that why you start with a sks , its reliable and built like a tank .
Question.
I have a CZ 858, and while I don't know my grouping (I just shoot sillouettes), I'm consistantly able to hit them at 300 yds. At 400 & 500 yds I'm occasionally able to hit them. However I know this is just me, and I need pratice.
I came accross an SKS-D that is scoped (3x?). Anyway I decided that I just had to get it. What kind of accuracy should I expect from it (it's still in the mail)? I'll just be shooting surplus. As it's scoped, I'm hoping to be able to consistantly hit the targets between 300m - 500m (because I should actually be able to see them clearly).
Is this realistic?

Have both sks and a cz858 both shot well but I have to admit the 858 is the better of the two.Titer groups and flawless operation. But there's a third choice,there a little rare at times but a cz 52/57 is another option.it's chamberd in the same round, just as acurate as the 858 not to mention a cool flip out baonet. You can usualy find them at gun shows between $250 to $400. Or you can pick up a norinco m14 and lookout for some cheap african ball.last back I bought was around $.45 a round it came in 1250 round lots. that was a year and a half ago though? Happy hunting!
Have SKS Yugo and CZ, since I got CZ my sks is "retired" and become part of the history...Will keep SKS just for collection, SKS is pain to clean after corrosive ammo...not accurate compare with CZ....Trigger pull on SKS is something….but both SKS and CZ are very reliable. Get them both if you can have good prize for SKS, and if you don't like it will sells in 5 min

I have an SKS-D, with an aftermarket(tapco) pistol-grip stock. So it has the coolness factor.But a VZ858 just has a bit more "piss off a LIEberal factor", plus it is lighter, more comfortable, and more accurate. As far as reliable, my sks is built like a tank, Ive never had a problem with it, and It'll hit paper at 200 no problem!!
Do you have a CZ? I didn't say you can't hit things with the SKS, believe me I have had a few, but I would take the CZ over it any day. Oh yeah, three inch groups ain't that $hit hot chief. A 50$ Enfield will do that.
