SKS Honor Match

I've Been to the range twice so far in the past couple of weeks with the SKS and I keep forgetting about this match. :mad:
 
Allright you slackers!!
With Ardent's permission I propose to extend the Jan 1 deadline, I challenge all of you to knock me off of the throne and beat my group. ( I can brag 'cause I am winning...) ;)
Let's get out and do some shooting!
Cheers

Well if the deadline is extended . I went out with mine today and this was the last group i shot before it got too dark .
The very first group was awesome ,but loosens up a bit as the gun warms up , I had 4 other guns to play with and then shot the sks again before we left .
Im kinda pleased with it .
The target is a 100yard target (SR1) the inner circle is just over 1 inch and the second is 3 inches across so a 3 inch group .

Well im quite glad a lot of the snow is gone compared to what we had . This range is literaly in the back of someones yard just outa town and 10 mins from my place . The guy was a gun smith and used it to test guns after fixing them i guess . and people go there by word of mouth , just leave a donation at the gate . kinda quiet most of the time . there are boards at 25/50 and 100 yd there is a 200yd spot as well .I shot my SKS there today .
I had to mention SKS as this is supposed to about SKS`s . Also had along my M305 .CZ858 .winchester 94 ,30 30 Nagant M44 carbine .. and lots of ammo . Did i mention SKS , there i should be safe .
 
Good shooting Ian,
glad to see more people getting out. I want to get out again next week with my buddy and his new (to him) SKS and do some more shooting...will take the camera then to show I really did go out.

Maybe an SMLE match next?
Cheers
 
Out of curiosity can everyone post what factory their SKs is from and if barrel is screwed or pinned? Some say the pinned are less accurate so let's let's see if there is any validity in that theory.
I was using a triangle 136, triangle 26 and refurb that had the factory information milled off (old/mid era parts).
Cheers

Perhaps we should have a survey prob on another thread to see which factory is most common, screwed or unscrewed .
By the way happy new year everyone .
 
Ok here is my attempts at the match. Rifle is a 9696 with a pinned barrel. Range was St.Jacques so pics were posted before of the range. Here is my group.

Group measures 5 1/8" (1 3/4" without flyer).
It's kinda odd that out of those 5 rounds 4 were defective?
Check milsurp ammo from Canada Ammo I think.
Rifle was from Marstar.

Should we be cocky and challenge other 'accurate' milsurp rifles to a head to head match?

You got to remember this rifle is a close combat type rifle designed for uneducated peasants to shoot.(Probably why the gun is so popular in canada) . ,and or spit lots of lead in the general direction of the enemy .
Hard to compare with a longer barreled Enfield or mauser for instance .
From what i have seen so far here is most people are getting at least a 6 inch group at 100yds , which is good enough to knock someone over at 200.
But against other semi type carbines could work. without all the Bling and just open sights. That should get the Black and greens going.

Well let's just see about thet then :) I'm talking milsurps like the SMLEs or Mosins etc, not the modern ARs or Sigs.
We have SKS groups measuring 2.25", 3", several 4" groups, and one 4-shot group in 1.75" I wonder if the standard rifles do any better with open sights.

Cheers
 
I'm sure other milsurps are just as in? accurate. Don't allow peeps and we'll hold our own.

The biggest problem is finding a target that will allow you to get good sight alignment at the 100 yd mark. I'm still looking but it's going to be bigger then a 8.5x11" piece of paper.

I started just such a thread a year or 2 ago. Factory 26 was the most common.

Might be time to run another though.

Group #1 - Handloads, .87 inches. (I can usually do better)

#2 - Guatemalan 55 gr, 2.43 inches (opened badly by a flyer)

#3 - SS 109, 2.7 inches.

#4 - Wolf polymer, 6.1 inches.

#5 - Blackhills Mk 262, 1.88 inches.


Who knows how accurate the sks can be. If you compare the groups here in the honor match which are being done with cheap surplus ammo to groups achieved with a super trick AR-15 shooting cheap suplus ammo the Sks does all right.

Final plug for my contribution to the honor match. I was shown up way to fast the first time.
