Yea I noticed that after I posted, but still thats awful hard to beleve, on the same subject I took my SKS out today and had a ball with it, have not shot with open sights in a very long time, gotten to used to a scope, but with the factory open sight I was getting 4 to 5 inch groups at 125 yds, ( thats the ranges limit) I don't think thats half bad for a blind old fart and a 60 year old gun, and 4 dollar a box ammo

Due to the short length of the barrel I found you'll get the best groups with Iron sights at 100yd. After 100yds your groups will be all over the place.

300 isn't out of the question OP. Several of my friends and I shoot my SGL20 at 300 yards.

Remember, If you can dream it, You can do it!

How do you even find a three year old thread to reply to?

Do these guys digging up these threads just use Google or something?

I just sold a Yugo that at 350 yds I could hit a 12X12 inch steel plate any where from 7 to 8 rds out of 10 all day long and the other 2 or 3 were only inches off. Why I sold it was I`m building ARs, 223 and 308.

I have a Russian SKS and I can hit a junked Buick at 75 yards all day.

Notwithstanding the limited accuracy of any rifle, the geometry alone makes 2 inch groups at 675 yards truly amazing. The cross hairs on my 4 power scope block out a 7/8 inch bullseye at 50 yards. This works out to 2 inches at 100 yards or about 13 inches at 675 yards. With a rifle that maintained the theoretical limit of absolute accuracy, it would still be necessary, in order to utilize it, to scrutinize 1/7th of the thickness of the cross hairs and this would make your eye-balls fall out making it impossible to repeat. Thus, such marksmanship is surely an exception and not the rule.
