I shot my first 3 gun match on the weekend with the sks being the rifle and I was surprised the the old carbine could hold its own. My example is not very accurate even by sks standards about 5 inches at 100 yards off a bench with surplus ammo. But on the tactical rifle portion all targets were within 50 yards. From standing shooting through the port A zone hits were about 4 inches by 6 inches. So the accuracy level of an sks was not really a hinderence. The only real disadvantage is that there is no way for a tactical reload. You need to shoot dry before topping up. This adds some time. However the reliablity of the SKS certainly made up this shortcoming.

I saw many failures throughout the course with a variety of wonder guns however I did not experience one. My point in this post, if you all you have is a 100$ sks for a three gun match. Go and have fun you won't be outgunned.
 
The Standard SKS works fine for what you are doing, and with practice is just as fast at reloading with stripper clips as with Magazines. sounds like a fun day. :)
