Declan said:Mine is an SKS-D thus it's Chinese. I am getting three inch groups or less with iron sights, from a 100 yards, sitted, with elbows on the table. I don't get fliers either.
The groups are very consistent as I always use the same ammo; Norinco, silver box. The only work I did to it was to put an ATI Draganov stock on it and fine tune the fit. I would choose this gun as my MBR over any of the AR's I used to own.
Of course, it's a matter of preference and I am not knocking AR's. Shoot what you like and don't make other people feel bad for not using "brand name" guns. Only snobs cut down "the quality" of other people's kit.
Here goes nothing. I call BULL####!!!! Your front sight post is larger than a standard piece of copy paper at that distance. How can you the shooter consistantly hold your rifle in the same place so as to produce 3" groups? Your rifle is chinese, the absolute worst copy of the SKS ever produced. The SKS is not a competition platform, never was, never will be. Norinco ammo doesn't have the greatest QC either. Hell the 7.62X39 is not known for its inherant accuracy. The cartridge performs best inside 200 yards. With all these factors involved you can honestly tell me(and the other CGN users) that your gun will shoot 3MOA consistantly? Even if you only shoot at 100 yards I still don't buy it. I can guarantee there isn't a single SKS in this country could hold that kind of accuracy out to say 300 yards let alone further. As I posted in a previous thread, I have nothing against the SKS. Great gun for banging away. functional, reliable(usually) and cheap to feed in comparison. Just don't start making ridiculous claims of its accuracy or that your gun doesn't produce "flyers". Semi auto actions have looser tolerances than bolt actions which is what contributes to their proportionaly inconsistant groupings when compared to bolt guns. (We all know the SKS is well known for its fit and finish.) So don't try and tell me that 3MOA is possible out of your "stock" SKS. Especially when you cannot even offer pictorial evidence of such results.
