prophageus 0 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 How big are those targets? How many rounds per target did you try to get into the target, and how many did you actually make out of those rounds fired? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

prophageus 0 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Personally I don't know what 'good' means or 'poor'. I am shooting using ONLY open sights, about 75 yards, 122 Gr. HP WOLF ammo, and I'm shooting about as well as you are. I shoot on 5"x5" targets. My groupings are more spread out than yours. Out of each 10rd clip I'm making at LEAST 8/10. No bullseyes yet. --- Not sure if that helps you out or not. Hehehe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Siagalova 0 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 that ain't bad shootin', whatya talkin' 'bout willis! you certainly would've put down your man. howdya slot that gun. a drill and dremel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaShooter 0 Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 yep, a drill and a dremel, and a guide by someone on this forum I used a real small drill bit, and put it into the dremel to drill a pilot hole for the bigger bit. this eliminated any crooked slots because the dremel is more controllable than a battery drill. It still gets hot but it cools off way faster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Siagalova 0 Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 yea I still have to smooth mine out! I would've done fewer slots, like four instead of six!!! good job though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aka108 0 Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 AK types are not target quality pieces so you did not do too bad. Aim for the belt buckle and you will hit some part the body mass. As designed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hemophilic 0 Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 That's not too bad. The AK design is generally a 2-3 moa gun and that seems to be what you're getting. I tried a couple different kinds of ammo. My saiga 7.62 16" likes heavier ammo. The wolf, barnaul, and silver bear 122gr or 123gr always either shot high left or a wider group. I use wolf 154gr soft points now. Seems to have tightened the groups a small bit and they're all in the center now. I recently had a chance to shoot at 300yards. The target was a 18" cast iron round plate suspended by chains. I could regularly ding it using iron sights set to 300. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
