POLL: Did you have to adjust the iron sights of your CZ858?

[Jay]

Elevation...

Windage was fine.

Thanks guys. This poll was for the CZ 858, not the VZ 58 as I don't know whether the VZ 58 came with a test target.

Poll results so far:
Yes (elevation only): 4 = 15.4%
Yes (both elevation and windage, some responses I couldn't tell if it was just one or both, so lumped them in here): 8 = 30.8%
No: 14 = 53.8%

I have a feeling though that many CSA rifles are lumped in there. Did CSA rifles come with a test target?

 

[NLGT]

My CSA didn't come with a test target. It shoots fair for me, however I haven't tried it on paper targets yet. I know it can hit beer cans at 50 yards spot on.

windage was out by 2 inches at 100m, elivation was bang on.

 

[NavyCuda]

My CZ858 did not have to be zeroed. I could hit clay pigeons on the birm at 111m, all day long.

 

[.30/06 FTW]

Nope. Was bang on from the factory.

 

[lawn gnome]

Never even noticed. Changed all three to front fibers and rear peeps.
Even with the changes, zeroed within a group or two still.

 

[shredder]

Nope. Was bang on from the factory.

This!

I've never adjusted the sights on my 858. I've never had to.

 

[Phong]

I adjusted elevation only but then I tend to like my iron sights set a little low.

 

[sparq]

Have only shot mine out to about 50m, but seems pretty close.

 

[caustic]

yes

 

[edwin-97a]

No, mine is good to go at 100 yrds.

 

[Andurp]

No. My 858 was hitting water bottles and cans from 50-100 meters right out of the box with crappy Polish surplus from the 80's. I printed it on paper after having no issues hitting reactive targets I brought to the range and it was spot on as well. Good little rifles.

The only milsurp red rife I've had to adjust the front post on was my M59/66 SKS, which was an absolute ##### as the grenade sights can get in the way and my crappy Chinese front sight tool doesn't really fit to adjust it for elevation. It still shoots a little high.

 

[Rugerman]

I had to crank the windage all the way to the left and it is still off. Trying to find a rear peep sight as, from what I understand, it is the only way to solve this.

 

[chadeech]

Nope was dead on to 200 yards tested so far
cheers

No,

It also will depend on the ammo that you are using too. As different ammo and different batches will cause a shift of the P.O.I./P.O.A.
Meaning with some Czech corrosive I have to aim in between the front blades and the center of the front post at 100 meters but with the Chinese non-corrosive it is bang on. This was tested on the same day with the same rifle shooting at the same target at the same spot.
Now this same Chinese ammo also seems to be quite week ejecting out of my rifle compared to the Czech ammo witch usually gets tossed 5 feet up and 8 feet to the right of me.
