there I was, it was a crisp day on the range where I laid out my MN 91/30 and my Yugo SKS, I whipped out my spotting scope and positioned it down range to my intended target. with it's scoring rings fixed perfectly in my glass I wen behind my first rifle of the day, the MN.
I wrapped my arm into the sling and dug the long rifle into my shoulder for stabilty, my elbose poised on the shooting table. leaning in slowly I excitedly viewed down my sights acquiring my target. The wind picks up but only slightly, not enough for me to adjust. Breath in, breath out, pause... BOOM went the first of my many rounds down range, BOOM BOOM went my second and third (not that quickly but you get the Idea). I put the weapon down and bent behind my spotting scope looking at my first three rounds, hopefully telling me if the rifle must be re zeroed.
And there they weren't....
yep thats right no dice, the long and short of it is either my rifles are way off (since I have only done kentucky windage since I bought them due to no sight tools), or I have the shooting eye of a 90 year old blind man with a nervous tick.
I'm thinkingboth are true I need to just invest in a bench rest and sight these things in properely, then shoot the crap out of them. the SKS shot fine enough since I figured out where to adjust aim, but that cursed MN!!!! needless to say I have a bruise on my shoulder almost as big as the one on my ego, eventually I started hitting the steel plates, but sighting onto paper yielded less than moderate results.
There is my range sob story in a nutshell.
and that MN was HOT when I finally stopped shooting it, then again it was hot after like the 3rd round...
