fun with .223 gun

[leadslinger 37]

well finally had the chance to take the newly converted .223 to the range today. My son-in-law didn't want the gun any more so i picked it up cheap. What a hoot!!!!! I haven't shot a .223 in about 15 to 20 years. My first impression was where is the recoil. Lot of noise but what a super soft shooter. took about 10 rounds to get it dialed in at the 25 yard range then another 15 to get myself slightly low and little left at 100 yds. I stopped as i wanted to save what concentration i had left for my 7.62. I will get it fine tuned next outing.

 

Perma grin easy to shoot...light... a 22lr on roids. can't wait to shoot it some more. I can see why so many people like to shoot this round. Still i prefer to throw heavier round down range.

 

Neat thing is the Saiga ran dry as i was so anxious to shoot it i forgot to clean and oil it.
