I've never put the effort in to truly see what my sks can do. Gotta get a better prescription so I can actually have a consistent point of aim. I mostly shoot offhand with the sks and that's what I"m talking about for hitting at 150.

There are 3 reasons why the 7.62x39 rifles tend to shoot quite liberal groups.
1. Wrong bullet diameter most have 311-312 bores while all the new ammo is 310.
2. Short sight radius.
3. Over fast twist rate. 1-9.5 is better suited for the 150+ Over spinning the 123's sacrifices some accuracy but makes them tumble much sooner upon hitting a target. (Lethality)
