Saiga .308 Ver21

[ItsAllCreated 59]

Finally got back to the range with the Ver21 to zero-in my scope.

 

My 1st attempt was with a 2-peice scope mount which the screws ended up stripping out on me & my scope fell off!

...What a waste of bullets trying to zero with a crap scope mount!

 

This time I used a 1 peice Leapers UTG Scope mount I had laying around; its working good.....

 

This is @ 100 yards shooting Russian Steal Case 150gr FMJ TulAmmo.

10.5 Inch Target. Black area measures 5.25"

All these shots were taken on a bench rest with sand bags.

 

 

The group on the right was my 1st 3 shots after zero'd @ 50 yards. It measures 1.25 Inches

The Tall group (circled in blue) are after I made my adjustment (they were all shot with on the same adjustment). The 1st shot was one of the Bullseyes. A few of those shots I know I rushed them, and once I acedently tried to shoot while I had the safty on... which when I pulled the trigger I jerked the rifle... so I KNOW I wasn't doing as good as I could have. The two in the center are two shots that I steadily pulled the trigger untill it shot. When I'm surprised at when the rifle shoots... then I know I'm doing it right. Also the shots did not shoot pregressively higher; it was random (I was just all over the place).

Very nice.. I'd like the v21 also.. I have the standard S-308 21".. w/brake

 

 

Try some Hornady Ammo either the 110gr TAP or 150gr SST flavor..

 

watch the groups SHRINK..

 

(based on my experiance)

 

Grafs has it in single box with just $5 shipping on ammo orders..

 

thats how I found my BEST LOAD for my Saiga 308 w/21" bbl..

Thanks guys

 

I'll have to try some better ammo some time.

 

I think most of that accuracy (or lack of) is me though.

& a few other things... 15mph winds (Shooting range is haflway up a mountain), & at 100yards the cross hairs in my scope completely cover ther "X" on the bullseye (I had to quarter up the black area with the cross hairs best I could to get on target).

 

All in All I'm much happier with it than last time I tried to zero it in haha

 

1.25" groups arent too bad all things considered.

Especially not with Tula/Wolf. If mine liked the cheap stuff that well, I'm not sure I'd bother reloading for it.

 

The trigger on my ver. 21 would often surprise me as well. While I think it's good for training purposes and doesn't hinder accuracy any, I eventually replaced it so I could use higher capacity mags. Plus I eventually got tired of being surprised.

What would you like for it?

[ChileRelleno 7,071]

Fair price would be in the $700 range, considering they were going for $650.00 last time I saw them for sale, and they are no longer available for the foreseeable future.
