Well I got off work early today......good thing I did cause I've been itching to get to the range with the SKS I bought Tuesday!
I'm Hooked
This rifle is a blast to shoot, well balanced, little recoil, nice sight picture,I loved it!
I started at 50 yards to see if the sights were at least on the paper....yep! Windage was spot on, I just have to play around with the elevation a little I was getting groups around the 2" with a flyer that would push it up to the 3-4inch range.....
moved out to 75 yards and found that the groups were getting a little tighter.....I'm guessing that this rifle tends to shoot better once fouled a little????
Out to 100 yards and I was getting back into shooting with iron sights. Boy did this bring me back to my younger years! ....now the groups are getting tighter, around 2-2.5 inches......I couldn't ask for better with this type of rifle!
Things I noticed shooting an SKS for the first time...
Balance was nice even if the length of the stock is a few inches short for my long arms.
Recoil was minimal....I could shoot this rifle all day long!
Brass lands on my head and into my hood.
You cannot find all the brass......I found 30 casings out of the 40 rounds I shot.
Accurate enough to hunt with.
I took a little video with my cell phone and thought I would post it.
