    SKS, Long Range?

    Re: SKS, Long Range? Thanks. I've never shot my Yugo at any distance. I have been thinking about putting a scope on it, but I'm not sure. I may just leave it iron sights or maybe a red dot scope. Zak.

    SKS, Long Range?

    I am just curious... How accurate is an SKS (Yugo to be specific), and at what distance? I'm asking because I have a Yugo SKS, and I have seen alot of people mount scopes and bipods on them, and wondering how good they would be, say at 300-500 yards? Zak.

    Need Advice On Entry Level Long Range Rifle

    Re: Need Advice On Entry Level Long Range Rifle Yeah, I'm not saying we're experts in reloading, but after loading up a total of 1250 rounds of both rifle and pistol ammunition, we have eliminated all the "rookie" mistakes. I may buy a couple boxes of factory ammo and then after I shoot...

    Re: Need Advice On Entry Level Long Range Rifle Ill definitely look into those targets. I've never really shot long range, probably not even over 50 yards before, so I can't wait to get out there and practice. I know when learning anything you want to perfect the basics and then move on...

    Need Advice On Entry Level Long Range Rifle

    Re: Need Advice On Entry Level Long Range Rifle My only problem right now is the cost of the 6.5x55 Swedish ammunition... Cheaper Than Dirt has 20 rounds for $26, and Cabelas has it 20 rounds for $40. Its ridiculous. The cheapest surplus of it I have seen is $12 for 20. My Dad and I...

    Need Advice On Entry Level Long Range Rifle

    Re: Need Advice On Entry Level Long Range Rifle I've actually been looking into the 700's for awhile. I will definitely be getting one, I'm just not sure when. I think I'm going to use the Mauser, and when I get decent, I'll upgrade to a 700.

    Need Advice On Entry Level Long Range Rifle

    Re: Need Advice On Entry Level Long Range Rifle Yeah, the Yugo and M44 arent long range material, nor do I want a scope on either of them even though I do know Bosnia used the SKS as a sniper. I think Brownell's has an adjustable trigger for it, so I will most definitely look into that...

    Re: Need Advice On Entry Level Long Range Rifle Thanks for the reply. My uncle just bought a .223 Savage with the bull barrel, and he mounted a nice scope on it. He hasn't even shot it yet, but it's a nice gun.

    Re: Need Advice On Entry Level Long Range Rifle Ok, thank you. I've wanted a rifle designated for longer distances (I generally only buy carbine style rifles), and I figured I need a decent long range one. I was going to do it with a Russian 91/30 I had, but I ended up having to sell it...
