Probably had the rear sight all the way back at the M battle sight setting. ??? is that what that little notch is thats marked like 0 or wtv it is like the last notch but is higher than the rest right....THATS for 300 m ??? why when It has a 300 m ...And yea I did have it on that and on the 100 m but still couldn't hit and bud I DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to afford all the ammo it would take for me to sight in a rifle with a hammer and punch lol MAN it would take me month

Great rifles. As accurate as a battle rifle needs to be.
It has the 300m battle sight setting at one end so you can set it by feel. It allows you to make hits on man sized targets out to 300m.
If you don't have enough money for 25 rounds of 7.62 to sight in your rifle you should probably sell it and buy a .22.

I will re-iterate my previous post, start at 25 or 50m, find where the rifle is shooting, make sure you are doing what you are supposed to on your end. Then stretch its legs out. if its all over the paper at 25 or 50, you'll know right away something is wrong.
You'll just frustrate yourself and others going to the range without spending the time and the money ($5) to properly sight-in your rifle. Theres nothing worse than being next to the guy who doesn't have his rifle properly sighted in (even if it just came from the factory) and proceeds to try to bang away at the 200 or 300m mark.

Same with mine, shot great from day 1. The weak part of the accuracy equation is me.
It's also why they make ammo...so you can learn to shoot.
I used an 858 on my first 3 Gun event I participated in with irons.
It performed very well, beyond what I was expecting, but I only had the time to zero it at 50.
At it's zero'd range, it was pretty deadly around 2" pretty consistently firing offhand, not bench rested.
At 100, I could touch the targets and not worth mentioning, but that was just due to a lack of time spent zeroing on my part.
I found it robust, very acceptable accuracy, LIGHT, easy to maintain/strip, and quite reliable.
Do I think they are worth it? every penny.
Would I ever sell it? possible, but not if I can help it.

Im the kind of person that if it shoots to the right I just aim to the left.. I could of adjusted it ect but it really wasn't worth doing I didn't like shooting the crosive ammo extra cleaning and I didn't like the smell it made me fell sick since Im allergic to sulfer and thats what it smells like..
ps I bought an rfb I will shoot it tomorrow and see if I like it
I put it back in the box and used a better gun with better iron sights..
You're funny... ironic that your name is 'haha'.
Apart from this quote being EXTREMELY painful to read.... You're not much of a shooter if a firearm has to come perfectly customized to your needs right out of the box. Half the fun is tinkering with firearms to get them as accurate as you can.
As for corrosive ammo, you should be cleaning every firearm as thoroughly after every shoot so it shouldn't matter if the ammo is corrosive or not.
I hope you are strictly a hobbyist and that others aren't placed in a situation where they have to rely on your shooting.
