Damn I love these guns!
We took my buddy's Yugo SKS to the range so he could finally get the scope he installed set up. It's just a 25 yd indoor range. But that little $35 scope kit from Copes is a hoot! It's advertised as a 4x scope, but both of ours were 6x. Very bright and sharp sight picture! He was blowing away the bullseye consistently with it. He let me try it with the last ten rounds and I put all ten into the UPC code block at the bottom corner of the target! Sid thought that was hilarious.
This is alot of fun for the money! I scoped my Yugo SKS about a month ago with similar results.
It'll be fun to try these at 100 yds with the gas valve turned so they fire like bolt action rifles. I've read that improves grouping size.
On a non-C&R note, I took my new Taurus PT745 too and finally ran some good ammo in it. It hates Wolf ammo! Many failures to fire and a number of failures to feed per box of that ammo. This time I used Winchester .45 ball ammo from Wal-Mart. $21 per box of 100 rounds. Noth'n but the best! :goof: The gun loved it! No failures of any kind. And I kept tighter groups than I did with the Wolf ammo too. The first magzine I shot put four in the bullseye and two right on the line between the bullseye and 9 ring at 30'. That was great! My buddy shot it very well too. Then after using that up I got out a box of Wolf .45.
Geez! In 50 rounds it had three failures to feed and UP TO three failures to fire per magazine of ammo. (Holds 6) Those are some tough primer caps on that Wolf ammo. I still have a 500 round box of that stuff. It'll stay in the locker for now. Perhaps when I get the Rock Island .45 I want, it'll be happier with it. But for now, this Taurus only likes the good stuff.
We took my AKM too and put six 30 round mags through it. Flawless functioning! At 25 yards I could keep everything within the 8 ring in a pretty even group. My buddy shot it even tighter. All within the eight ring. But with even more of them in the bullseye and 9 ring than I did. We were shooting from the standing position.
Great way to spend a cold afternoon!
