Most accurate 7.62x39 rifle?

wtf? uhhh... no.

The sky being blue has nothing to do with the ocean.

You just ruined my setup.
I had a great story all made up about the smurfs living in the clouds.

I like that scope setup, but it sure looks like it sits up high!

Cheek weld wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the drooping comb of the stock which was designed to be used with the irons.

The sunlight reflects off the ocean and iluminates the water vapor in the atmosphere.

You remember your high school phyics. Good for you.



Buying me donuts. Well, she had no where else to go and I'm a big softy.

wtf? uhhh... no.

Refraction of sunlight through atmosphere, iirc. The high concentration of nitrogen in our atmosphere contributes the blue hue.

it's actually the other way around...

and while we're on it.... hemorrhoids and asteroids.... shouldn't they be the other way around?

They're all nothing but an illusion.

Try to argue that to a colorblind guy.

this discussion is alot like talking about how to make honda civics compete with ferraris.

Most accurate would be a Arsenal Milled AK. I can do 1.5"-2" groups with the SLR-95. (SA-M-7 can still be MM'ed in to cali)

Once you go to stamped you can expect 2"+ groups. I can do 2"-3" groups on my SLG-20.

I shot a wasr recently a co-worker bought and on a rest, best I could do was 4"-5" groups.

Anything milled ak wise is better than stamped(less flex)

I use to shoot a Mini-30, it too was in the 2" range @ 100yards.

You guys are all high. The sky is blue because there is dinosaur blood still floating around from the last asteroid. I thought we all learned this in pre-school.


My Bulgarian parts kit puts wolf HP in 5 inches at 100 yards with irons. I made that with a vise, hammer, drill, and a angle grinder. Still nowhere near the sub moa ar-15 which cost 3x more than my first car. ><

Its accurate for sure, but no precision rifle though.

My Russian SKS is plenty accurate......I can peg a 8x8 steel plate at 100 yds quickly and easily. Plenty accurate for battle type use.....dunno too much about it for hunting though. Prolly great for handling hogs at 50 to 75 yds....

Anyone have any experience with the Enfields in 7.62x39mm?
Either, the Special Interest Arms conversion kits and the AIA imports (friend in TX says a local store has one in stock).

i figured it was blue, because there are light particles reflecting off molecules in the sky, diffusing the blackness of space. thats why it goes away at night. but since i just made that up right now, its probably wrong.

but the real question is, why do dogs have cold, wet noses? thats the point of this thread, i think. not some mythical precision rifle nonsense...

He went to California public schools so, I just figured that's what they taught him. I was taught it was due to light refraction but, I went to a private school.

If your POI are centered around your POA then, yes, it is accurate. However, I would not consider 8moa a percision rifle.

I think we'd rather focus on the the accuracy/precision of the 7.62x39 rounds than where we had our education. I've learned more online and from reading from your posts than what I've learned in school.

A good-sized Boar has a kill-zone of the same size as that plate......
(Granted, they DO move)

Dang, you can throw your rifle that far?!? I'm impressed!

LOL thats funny. No actually I can really shoot my SKS . Granted I havent shot the SKS in a few years ( reason i was actually selling it) but when I did take it hunting I did get two deer. one per year. That was about 5 years ago.
Granted the SKS will never be a super precision long distance rifle but then again it was never designed to do that. Some of you guys make either the gun or the round or both sound like they're worthless for anything past 50 yards which is definitely not the case.
I bet if I gave you a civil war rifle you wouldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it but a guy who practiced with it can probably hit a half dollar coin on the side of that barn. I practiced extensively with my SKS because for the longest time it was my only rifle. So I know how it shoots and I can compensate for the way it shoots

I didn't see anyone post anything saying that. Of course, I have never been able to shot any of my SKSes or AKs as well as I can shot my first front stuffer. When I built it in '87, I shot a 3 shot group, on paper, at 77 meter and I ended up with a clover leaf hole. You're right, frontstuffers can kick but in both accuracy and percision. But, my 7.62x39 guns can shoot farther than my charcoal burners.
