Good challenge, not to nit pick you but izzys were only made in 53 and 54 so a 51 would be Tula. Unless you just hit a wrong key.
What percent of SKS rifles are "more accurate"

OK
first off... THATS ###IST MAN
Secondly... What the hell kind of accuracy test is that, it allows for shooter error meaning it really serves NO justice for the true potential of the rifle!
I ALWAYS do my accuracy tests off a rest.
That is a. Tula, nice!Here is my 1951 Tula SKS. It's a refurb. Just as purchased right out of the crate many years ago.
I'll post my targets after I get to the range. Tomorrow if the rain stops.

Tough! I'm not one of these new liberals. I could care less if I offended anyone. Just being honest.
O and I am also not a metrosexual either. So like I said. Men only.
Yes you are correct. HAHA I rarely shoot my SKS. I'm not really fond of it. Bored with it. So thanks for the correction. HAHA I am well aware of the factories, Tula and Izhevsk. I just haven't looked at my SKS in a while.

It's a test of the gun and man. Hence "Mans Test". These are milsurps and should be tested as a milsurp should be tested. In real world conditions. If resting the front of the gun on a sandbag or whatever you choose isn't good enough. Well maybe this test isn't for you. I should have stated "No Pussies" need apply
No offence, just saying...

I'm going to be honest. I don't believe what I am reading in this thread. So maybe we should post here and make the guys put their money where their posts are? But if you think we should start another thread. Let's do that. I'll let you decide. ok?
Maybe we could do one set standing and one set resting?
What do you think?
I'll take pictures of how I am shooting and my surplus ammo.
Sounds like a plan !
I will do 4 x 5 groups prone unsupported followed by 2 groups: sitting, kneeling, standing. I'll take some pics too.
Don't know when I'll pull it off, probably sometimes mid-july.
We should creat a new thread like the other shooting challenge. Pics or it didn't happen
DT741 Sounds good. It will be interesting to see just how accurate. Or should I say inaccurate the SKS is. I have shot mine many times. I know what it can do. The barrel in mine looks new. It appears to be flawless. And resting at 100 yards I can get maybe 4" group of five at best. I am not a bad shot either. With an accurate gun I can shoot 1MOA and under. And also with some Surplus guns like the Mosin Nagant I recently bought. Now that is an accurate platform. Not an SKS.
I will be very interested to see how this works out.

Ohhhhh so its a test of manhood and NOT how accurate the SKS rifle is....... gotcha
Bench shooting is fine for testing and fine tuning your rifle or loads, but as far as I'm concerned field shooting is what makes a guy a good shot. Groups in prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing is what its all about, not to mention a few moving or swinging targets.
I like to practice my field shooting on open range gongs at variable distances because I don't have a table and rest set up when I go hunting. Each to their own, but this is what I do.

Although I like the Hunter Challenge idea.
For the purpose of the thread, doesn't it make more sense to select shooting options that anyone can do?
The idea I had wasn't to find the best shooter. But to compare each guns accuracy in a shooter friendly way.
In other words make it so everyone can compete.
If we want to reduce the skill advantage, we can move the target range to 50 yards. I'm certain all of us can bench shoot at 50 yards well enough that the guns accuracy would be the primary factor.
We have to agree on what we want to achieve with this test. I believe that we need to focus on how accurate the SKS is.
And not who can shoot the best. But I also think using a lead sled or clamping your sks down and simply pulling the trigger five times is not the way to go. That would be as much fun as watching paint dry.
Besides we are testing the whole gun. Not testing barrels. By clamping the gun down we would be eliminating the trigger pull, all ergonomics. What is the point in doing that.
Let's agree on the test procedures and get started?

ok guys, let's define accuracy
one 5 round 3" group at 100yds out of 10 groups does not mean the rifle is a 3MOA
seven consecutive 5 round 3" groups at 100y out of 10 would be kinda 3MOA. But not quite.
many SKS owners think one 3 round 3" group every now and then means the rifle is 3 MOA.
not in this universe!

I would have to personally see that to believe that.
I have owned 8 SKS rifles, my best was a 1950 Tula where I pulled a 2.250" five shot group at 100 yards with it. I was resting it on a bench however. Most are 4-8" groups at 100 yards, precision rifle it is not.
