858 vs sks's

[JBD]

Are the 858 as accurate as an sks average 3 moa or are they better or worse?

I find my 858 extremely accurate at 100m, have not had the chance to try her further. I had a Chinese SKS from the old stock made in the 80's and one of these new crappy ones. I found the older stock better built SKS was just as accurate, however the new one was a not as accurate. I have since sold both SKS and kept the 858.

My view anyway.

Both are good but the VZ58 is more comfortable to shoot and easyier to clean.

I think the SKS is more comfortable to shoot. It is heavier, and the stock doesn't hit my in the face. The SKS cleans up easier in my opinion, mainly due to the chrome lined bore and corrosive ammo.

I usually hit the 300m gong about 3/5 times with my 858. And I'm not much of a marksman after 100m
