OK I am not up to date. Is this on a single sheet of letter paper? All at 100? I may shoot it with my ruger gas 308.

Guys I can't even get to the targets much less print one and nobody sells MR-31's locally. Any subs allowed for irons?

Any target is fine. Just iron sights or optics. Red dots and holo sights are considered optics.

Great thread you started wareagle. I like the fact you are shooting 2 10 shot groups on the same paper.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Travis Thanks Flave. I'll give it a run as quick as weather permits.

Draw 2 targets on a piece of notebook paper and go shoot.
As long as 20 shots are on the same piece of paper it's all good.

Yep.
I think I am going to load up a mag and try this again over the weekend.
Still trying to figure out a good hunting rifle challenge......

Still trying to figure out a good hunting rifle challenge...... When you say "hunting rifle challenge", I think of positional shooting. Something like the Carl Ross postal match they had in the rifle forum. Formidulous shot his AR in that shoot. Didn't see too many of you guys participate though..

I missed that one.
I was thinking positional shooting also but trying to fit it all on one page was a challenge. Having "cold bore" shots, positional shooting, and a 3 shot group was what I was hoping for. Trying to keep it under 10 rounds because I know round count deters some from playing the game.

You just knew some jackazz would show up with an AK... WASR 10, Zuke/MOE furniture, Red Star trigger and the crown cleaned up a tad. I loctited a Tapco birdcage flash hider on it to keep the muzzle from getting dinged. Stock sights, 20 round mag of Tula 122 grain 7.62x39 FMJ was used. Target at the end of the mowed strip, 100 yards distant. Muzzle-roasted old range bag used as a rest. Weather conditions about perfect... 20+ mph wind. To quote Dave Dudley “I shot like a man with a broken wrist.” 8 ¼ inches total. Wouldn't have sucked quote so bad w/o the high & low fliers. But as the saying goes, it is what it is. PS- Let me know on the hunting rifle event.

Thats the only reason I just don't like AKs...
Regardless shooting is better than not for sure!

With meticulously prepared handloads, my AK would put the first three in 3-4 inches at 100 yards. After the barrel warmed up, it shot pretty much like yours

Thanks for not throwing vegetables, LOL. I'm happy with the gun overall. For 3-5 shots from a clean, cold barrel, 2 MOA is happening often enough I'm sure it's not a fluke. 3D targets are much easier for me using the basic AK sight.
I shoot the WASR regularly at 200-300 yards & don't have any problem dinging an 11x16 plate at 200 or shooting into the middle of a B27 at 300. I had a Mojo 'click' aperture rear sight on it, which produced some stupid-small groups; but I managed to get one that walked windage, so it's gone. Right now I'm torn between Tech's Galil-style sight or the Krebs aperture.

Your AK shoots a lot like a Norinco SKS I used to have.
At 100 yards, It would put the first three into about 1-2", then open right up to 6-8".

I shot a Colt pencil barreled gun last night trying to determine if the 2 MOA was good enough or if I should order another LaRue barrel while they are still on sale.
I was shooting a 1-6 scope, irons wouldn't do me much better than your AK. That's not bad for irons with a gun that has a rep for just a blaster.

For what I'm doing with this one--basically a 200 yard critter-getter and fun gun--2MOA 'cold' is good enough. I've also got an ancient Bushnell Banner in a UTG Pro U978S rail mount I've been playing with. Return to zero is passable. I've rough-zeroed on the 200 yard plate, removed/replaced it with 5 round 'before & after' groups all staying on the top half of it.
The AK's sights are OK for their intended purpose but that's about it. I shoot them fine on overcast days but bright sunlight from oblique angles kicks my azz, as seen above. A good aperture negates most of this and the AR's sights are far better.

Good eyes are the first thing that would help my iron shooting, after that the list grows.
