Went shooting today.
Took my Yugoslavian SKS out for the first time today.
I bought it for Christmas. I picked it up on the 8th of January.
This thing was covered in cosmoline. Every nook and cranny you could think of was covered in the stuff. I had to clean it twice just to get the majority of this crap off of it.
It’s in decent shape for an old rifle. The picture above is just a representation.
Anyway, I took it and my Beretta 96 FS out to shoot.
This rifle is fun as hell to shoot.
Here’s a couple targets:
This was from 25 yards sitting on my butt un-supported, this is the second group I shot. The first one I used to adjust the sites.
The above target was also at 25 yards, but this time I was in a supported firing position.
This bad boy is a tack driver. I enjoyed shooting the rifle. It was easy to handle, an my shoulder is non-the-worse for wear.
I also took my Beretta and shot it as well.
I did some home defense practice with it. Fired it like it would be if I woke up and had to shoot an intruder. Took off the safe and squeezed off the first round with the hammer down, and then fired another two right after it. I lost that target, so no pics of it.
I was actually aiming my shots, which weren’t bad, here’s an example of the first ten rounds I shot, this is at 10 yards:
The target I lost had my last ten round shot group, which I didn’t aim, I just pointed and shot at the target. I actually had 5 center ring and the rest within 3 inches of the center of the target at rapid fire.
Fun day in the desert.
