Henry Rifle Forums

My son brought his new Rifle today, and we had fun sighting it in, and running it through the paces. Man is that thing accurate. It's a SKS yougoslovian made rifle. 7.63x39 I think. I'm not up to date on those rounds, but with the irons it was dead on at 50 yds. I also shot my WW SRC AR15. We had a blast. It sure is nice, that my youngest boy likes guns like dad. Here's some pictures. I didn't take any of the targets demise. Sorry.

That's a great looking rifle! I have an old Romanian SKS that looks like it was drug behind a pickup... But man that thing is a tough old tack driver. I'm glad that you guys had fun. It looks like it was a beautiful day out at the range.

Very nice place you have there! Great ol' rifle too!

That is a nice looking place for sure. Likin' the rifles also. Close private type ranges are the best.

I have a Norinco model that many years ago, I put a Monte Carlo synthetic stock on.
I actually took a bear with it on one outing. About a 50 yard head shot.

I have no doubt you did. That 7.62x39 puts a big hole in paper.

All looking good there, Moe. Love your place there on the mtn, makes me envious. Great that your son is carrying on an old family tradition. Just had to throw that in there, LOL.
Take care, brother.......

Needless to say, did not require a second shot. Instant humane kill right where he was.

I have a Windham Weaponry AR-15 in that caliber. I havent shot it to much but its fun to shoot when I do. Need to get it out and warm the barrel. You have a nice place Moetur.

Thanks Al, my WW sure does run good.

I got to shoot an SKS at the range last summer....talk about a cowboy out of his comfort zone. Neat rifle though.

I only own mine because I inherited it from my late BIL, otherwise, it might not be in my collection.
It is a formidable military round. Think I'll hang onto it in case of a Zombie apocalypse.
I DO have a 30 round mag for it!

No shortage of hi cap mags at my house. But then again anyone from the military knows about duct tape and taping a couple of small cap magazines for the quick flip.
