"...only set up for benchrest shooting..." Can you shoot off-hand? Benchrest shooting and shooting from a bench aren't the same thing. However, if you can practice shooting off hand, shoot until you can hit a 9" pie plate at 100, every time. Then use it for still hunting varmints, if it's allowed where you are. Being totally familiar with the rifle is far more important than shooting game 'drills'. Leave the 30 round mag at home though. Attracts too much unwanted attention. Just be advised that AK's aren't made for great accuracy. A ground hog won't care.
