I posted awhile back of a new rifle I added to my collection. A CSA Vz 58. Now, after finally getting an extra box of ammo for it, I finally can do a range report.
Here is the new rifle. Isn't it pretty. Don't you just want to touch it. I meant the rifle.....
Here is my shooting range. I'll be shooting at the 100 yard mark for this range report. Its raining and windy during the range report but its actually nice since it keeps the damn mosquitoes away.
Here is the two kinds of ammo I used in this range report. The first box is Norinco 5.56x45 NATO. Grain is unknown but I got the box for free with the gun. Never hurts to ask for freebies when buying a new gun. The second box is a Winchester .45gr Hollow Point 40 round value box. I had no idea if this stuff would work well with the Vz 58 since I have no idea if the twist rate for the barrel is 1 in 7.
My target, plain, un shot, but scratched to hell.
I did 5 practice shots at a steel target in the shape of a sheep at 100 yards just to get a feel and function test of the rifle. Its new after all, gotta get use to it. Here are 4 casings of the first 5 shots. I couldn't find the 5th case anywhere or maybe I think I fired 5 rounds. Anyways, the interesting note is the major dent to the casings after they've been fired.
Alright, going to fire 5 rounds of the 5.56 Norinco at the lower left side of my target.
What the hell? That's terrible!
Well, Decided to crack open the Winchester .223 and give it a try at the lower right side of the target.
Now that's a decent group. I wondered if its the ammo or just me so I decided to give the 5.56 another try in the upper right side of the target. I wonder where the 5th shot went? Oh its right on the board there you can actually see where it hit on the board. So 4 good hits a 1 flyer..
This one you can see on the board where I was hitting not on paper. If you look at it that way, its 4 good shots close by each other and 1 flyer. Beginning to think its just me and not the ammo. I switched back to the Winchester .223 for the upper left side of the target.
Other than I was hitting high, that's another decent group. Again its 4 good hits and 1 flyer. I decided to finish off the middle with the Winchester .223.
Humm.... Like the group is decent if you exclude the flyer, but again, hitting high with 4 good hits.. I'm uncertain if that flyer is actually a flyer though. Wonder if that area would get filled in if I decided to do 10 shot groups.
Finally, here is the whole target. I hate reading some peoples range reports, then they only show a really zoomed in picture of sweet ###y little groups but not the whole target. Its really annoying because you know there range report is full of ####. The .223 Vz 58 can't compete against an AR-15 in accuracy but it can compete in terms of badassness. One of the coolest things when firing the rifle today is the massive fireball it spits out after each shot. Probably not good if your fighting in a war at night, but it sure does look badass. Like flames on a car badass. One ####ty thing that happened today was not with the gun, was with my truck. I just changed the oil yesterday before this when I noticed on the ground going up to my truck, a trail of an oil leak. I crawled under there, looked at the oil filter, no leak, looked at the drain plug, no leak, looked at my oil pressure sending unit, LEAK!!! F@#%@#%@#%$#$^#$^#$%K!!!!!! First time I've used synthetic oil in my truck and the oil pressure afterward was crazy high. Never saw it that high before and when I drove home, the oil pressure was super low and the oil level didn't drop much at all. Good thing it only leaks when the engine is running so that gives me time to get a new seal for my oil pressure sending unit. Wow I've hijacked my own thread. Anyways, other than that BS, The rifle was fun to shoot and satisfactory accuracy.
