Lone Eagle 839 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Oldest scored some ammo, so off to the range we went. I took my scope and some Silver Bear 125gr SP to see if I could work it in. Well, here's the results. Ammo: Silver Bear 125gr SPWind: 5-10MPHTemp: 76 degreesRange: 50 yards for 50/200yd zero, 2" high at 100yd(verified) I pulled the BP-02 off, fired 5 rounds, reinstalled, took a deep breath, and........... I have a 200yd actual target from an ammo test(coming soon), and group opened up to around 3-4". They had a 12"x12" gong at 200, and I hit 5 of 5 on that. Not bad for a Commie peasant rifle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Nice shooting. Holds its zero well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LuPiN8oR 333 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Good shootin man! What scope were you using? I was shocked at the accuracy i got outta mine using 125gr sp and my vortex 1-4. Posted the results up here . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Eagle 839 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Scope is a NcStar 2-6x32mm with 225yd rangefinder reticule(discontinued, but still out there). I picked 2 of them up when a local shop stopped carrying them for peanuts. This is the reticule: I'll have to get an updated pic of the rifle wearing it's glass. Everyone I've talked to said the Silver/Gold Bear was one of the few consistent Russian loads out there for hunting. Oldest shot some Silver through his Stevens .308, and had a nice 4-leaf clover at 200. Edited June 17, 2013 by Lone Eagle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spikester 93 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I like Silver Bear SP as well, it shoots better groups in my Saiga and SKS as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LuPiN8oR 333 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Im just speculating here but it seems the sp of most any brand seems to run really good groups. The wolf sp i got shocked me. I need more before i go testing again lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
