SKS Day

[dasmoeturhead]

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.
