i dunno what to tell ya for the click being too much thing.. i know what you mean, and do not know the solution.
but as for resetting the knobs so they say zero when its zero'd, i got it as close as i could considering the click size, then loosened (not removed) the two screws toward the edge of each turret. edit: NOT the center srews
then i reset the windage knob to zero, and the elevation knob to one (since i sighted in at 100)
then i re-tightened the screws.
it sounded like a regular click when i did this, but the crosshair didn't move when the screws were loose.
the manual says, in somewhat broken english, that to reset it to factory alignment, simply loosen the srews, align the red marks to eachother and retighten.

Okay,
I should know the answer to this question, but this kit looks like it has a 10-12" barrel. Is it legal in TX for an average joe with no Class 3 or FFL?? Does it classify as a pistol? If so, doesn't that mean it can't have a stock on it? I want to purchase this kit, I'm just making sure I'm legal to own it. BTW, I know very little about 74's, any info you can provide would be appreciated.
Shane
the kit is legal to own regardless.
if you want to build it, you have to do one of three things:
1: build it as a pistol (no stock)
2: build it as a rifle by adding a big ugly barrel extension, bringing it to a 16" barrel length
3: build it as a SBR (short barreled rifle) leaving the barrel as-is, and using the stock as-is, but submitting a $200 tax to the BATFE and waiting for approval.
-
yup. a 3/32" bump on the right side of the selector did the trick when i did mine.
-
+1 on the ugly part. it just looks wrong seeing a pg stock with the trigger in the "sporter" position.
as for compliance, is it possible that the atf is allowing these to come in to the country in this configuration? then compliance may not be an issue.
either way, the "lazy man's conversion stock" just looks like crap.
and what's a conley sluss?
-
lol... "vietnam war trophy edition" with a thumbhole stock
ain't marketing fun?
-
looks sweet!
i might have to buy some of that stain sometime.

If an M14 can have a "free floating" barrel, then I'm sure the Saiga can. What most people (including me) mean when they say "free floating" is that the stock does not contact the barrel. Annecdotal evidence being worth what it is, I'll offer this: The few times I've read about people trying to get more accuracy out of a Romak 3, the most commonly done operation (and the most effective) was to remove wood from the inside of the forestock. The gas system shouldn't put much load on the barrel. It probably changes harmonics, but it should change them in the same way for every shot. This is because the gas block and handgaurd retainers are permanently attached to the barrel. As the stock is not permanently attached to the barrel (on AKs that is, Mausers are a whole different story), the pressure on the barrel can change from shot to shot.
By the way, I think I'll try using a sling for off-hand shooting again. The last few times I did that, the results were not acceptable. I feel inspired to give it another try though.
fwiw, i keep my sling a little shorter for offhand shooting, since in that position i take up a little less space inside the sling, if you know what i mean.
-
was sort of a rhetorical question.
-
that's because standing is the one position where slings are not allowed in most competitions.
it really does help, for me anyway.
etit: can one consider the saiga barrel free floating, when they have an ak gas system?
-
FYI - the reason that the bipod screwed your zero up is because as the round passes the point that the bipod is supporting, the slight barrel flex involved when the round passes through the barrel causes it to jump up slightly.
hmm. makes sense. i guess it wouldnt take more than a tiny little "hop" to bump it 1/2" at 100yds.
i'm getting so much info here, my brain may 'splode
thanks!

Personally, I find that I do my best shooting from prone with a sling. Get some nice leather to put on there. You'll recognise the sling I'm talking about by the two rows of holes running all over it, and the (usually brass) hooks. There should be at least one site out there that explain the proper installation and use of a shooting sling, but I can try to help if necessary.
Just a suggestion. Keep up the good shooting!
i know just the sling you mean.
have one on my old ruger 44mag carbine. (the one with the tube mag, pre-deerfield)
it's great for steadying while standing, never really thought of using a sling while prone.
the romy leather sling on my s-308 is every bit as firm and stretch-free as the brass hook type, so i may give it a shot, so to speak.

any chance you can check the BDC at 1,2 and 300 yards. should be almost right on, but if you ahve a chance......
i can check 100 and 200 next time i go to the range. unfortunately no 300 there.
maybe someone else here has an 8x posp on their .308 and has access to a 300yd range?
*looks around* tritium, maybe?
-
didja get teh pro or std posp? eastwave?
yep, eastwave. the regular one.. (posp 8x42 VD)
looks like the only 8x "pro" on their site is for svd/dragunov rails.
wonder what the VD stands for... am i gunna get warts on my eye? lol

Okay, with sandbags, it's 1" -1.25" groups consistantly.
Most of them are just a hair over 1" (like 1 1/8), with 3 of 5 holes touching.
Sorry, no pics, need camera batteries, too. I left it plugged into the computer on transfer overnight, but the target's not going anywhere. It's an old steel barrel that's slowly turning to swiss cheese.
I just keep turning it around a little and scratching a + on it with a rock in an empty spot.Oh, and the sandbags showed me that i was one click low and one click right of center. (and the clicks on the posp are kinda big clicks- like half an inch movement per click)
Thanks, Indy, for talking me into going through the effort to do it right. Even if it proved to me that my saiga isnt the best saiga out there. (I already knew I wasnt the best shooter out there.)

looks evil.
i like it.
the polished bolt really brings out the blackness of the rest of it.

44rdv4rk....
LOSE the bipod... ( for now...)
aww.... i like my bipod, and it's doubling as a handguard retainer. but i'll try it bagged tomorrow if its not storming too bad.
-
Are you shooting from a benchrest?
a bipod.
The batteries are very common. If you want to stock up on some for a real bargain, go to budk.com and search for batteries. They have a pack of fifty for $8.99 and not the $2.50 each you pay in the store.now THAT's more like it! thanks!
-
yeah, i figued wally world or radio shack would have them,....
either one requires a trip into a real town. i'm truly in the boonies, and i hate to burn $5 in gas to get $5 worth of batteries. it'll have to wait till im going in for something else.
on a brighter note, i ditched my homemade flashhider and got my groups down to 1.5 -2.5" now, so i feel better about that.
-
my 8x42 posp finally showed up.
it's a thing of beauty.
sighted in perfectly in 4 shots.
shot several 5 shot, 2-3 inch groups at 100yds, which is good enough for me, and way better than i am capable of with irons. i don't know how all these people saying they get one big hole at 100yds are doing it.
now i just have to find some damn batteries for it, i assumed from this picture that it came with batteries.
that's what i get for assuming.
-
The same amount of brainpower you needed to have to ask that question - not alot.
(joking)
well there we have it... straight from the horse's ass... i mean mouth.
(joking)

mmmmmm.... nothing like living in a hair dryer... lol
just how much of a prairie dog is left after being hit with a .308?
8x32x50 it is a cheap BSA but I am going to shoot P-dogs with it for fun and I had it and nothing to put it on so_________ I just put it on and the wind has been blowing non stop at 40-60 mph for three days haven't had a chance to try.I wish with the wind we would get some rain but no just 100+ degrees.

it's seriously like waiting for christmas.
mailman brought a package today, i was like oh boy oh boy oh boy.....
damn, just a motherboard.

dang, that's a big ol' scope.
what magnification? is that a 50mm objective lens?
what manufacturer? how's it perform?
100rd .308 drum ?!?!?
in Saiga .308

I think alot of people would.
hell, I would for sure if the NYSP wouldnt have my ass for owning one.
I just saw it and had all sorts of wicked thoughts, so I figured it ought to be seen in the .308 section.
