How accurate is your sks?

[Spcamno]

What is the best group you can get out of your SKS regardless Nork / Russian /Yugo basically any SKS?

Also can the SKS be accurize?

How much work involve if there is such a thing?

 

[starpuss]

if you want accurate buy a m14

I never bothered to try for groups. When I can hit paper at 100yds I figure I'm doing good.
I've heard about people drilling the trigger retaining button out and replacing it with a bolt through the stock to tighten the action in, but it sounds like a lot of trouble. You could probably improve accuracy with an aftermarket stock and some sights... a little improvement anyways.

1 minute of T-34 tank!

minute of (propane)tank

clay pigeons at 100 yds no problem....never bothered to try grouping on paper.

Already got two one is still in cosmo!

But was thinking about tweaking some sks just for fun.

You're probably good for 4-5 inch groups at 100 meters, or for minute of microwave out to 300 m.

Be careful.... if you start messing with the SKS your #### might fall off!!

4" off the bench with Norinco grey box FMJs.

I know I know................that's why I started this thread just to be sure and the last thing I want to see it happen is" my #### will fall off"

Besides jokes does it worth tweaking or no?

I have gotten 2 1/4" groups with open sights at 100m, a very tight Chinese (Norinco) model and surplus Czech ammo from a rested position. It hasn't happened very often and is probably sh$thouse luck but I have done it more than once. 3-4" seems more realistic.

If you have an SKS go shoot the Honour Match (sticky on this forum)

Cheers

Best I've seen with blue-box surplus is about 4" at 100yds from a bench.

A few years ago I stuck a scope on a Chinese SKS and shot some handloads at 200 yards. 10 shot group was abotu 6". Not great, but good enough to kill a deer.

I'd like to try out a RUssian SKS for accuracy, I assume they are more accurate?

Mine seems to do minute of pie plate.

I've read on an SKS board that there is some trigger work that can be done to improve things a bit.

Yeah, just found it on youtube:

I will start a fresh thread to post that video.

5-6" grouping at 100 meter from bench rest. Unissued Russian SKS with Czech surplus 123 FMJ. 200 rounds and no matter what, it won't do better. Maybe if I had some of those American ammo...

Part of SKS's appeal is its originality. Why temper with that anyway? It grouping is good enough to kill a deer as it is.

Mine is a old russian but I was able to hit a coke can at a 100 yards,lets not forget this is a battle rifle.

Would the trigger work be the same for the SKS-D.
