How does your SKS Shoot?

Ive owned 5 different kinds of sks rifles and never encoutered that. You do get "flyers" with surplus ammo. If you fire 5 shots at 100 yards, are they ALL going to the RIGHT ?
I can put twenty rounds out of my '53 Tula, as a friend put it in his AG42B WTS ad, into "minute of pizza box". One of these days, I'll take time and maybe sandbag it just to see what it's doing. Who knows? Maybe I got a tack driver and need to buff up my shooting skills.
Did 30 rounds sandbagged at 100 yard into about a 9" circle with the irons. My eyes are terrible and the target didn't have a clean visible aiming point.
I put a 4x POSP on it and @ 25yards put 5 rounds almost touching into the target. So I was hoping for around 4-5" at 100 yards with surplus but it just didn't happen. I need more trigger time with it. I'm so stubborn I think I might handload for it before I label it "inaccurate".

out of the box with no sight adjustment, mine shoots about 4" high and a couple of inchs to the right. Groups aren't overly tight but thats got more to do with me. Thats using milsurp ammo from prone.
Let me guess... You were so disapointed at the rifles inaccuracy, you thought the range report would be a waste of time and just too depressing, as I found out.
I have a late production(1955/56) Tula in like new condition. It shoots consistent 3 inch groups at 100 yards with Yugo surplus ammo with iron sights. It was on left and right but was shooting a touch high and I had to raise the front sight to lower the point of impact. I never tried any good grade commercial stuff through it yet. This SKS shoots almost as good as my new 858. A friend of mine has a chinese SKS he bought in the 1980's that he made his own receiver( screwed on) scope mount and it shoots 1.5 inch groups at 100 with commercial hunting ammo.

lol.........no i just didn't have a chance to post, at a 100 Yards i was getting 5-6 inch groupings but that had more to do with me than the Rifle (need more practice)...i am more than happy with the accuracy of my SKS as i hit the target every shot and i believe in time my accuracy will improve. Here is a pic of my Rifle. Can't wait until i get my Russian SKS in July.........

Hmmm... you know, I swear my older Chinese sks-d shot more accurate than my russian. I remember hitting the 200 yard tagets fairly easy.Not so with the Rusky.
