Off to the range with the SKS and some rounds. Hoping that the home stock bedding will have cut down from the 4" groups I was getting before.
Guess what? It didn't.
What made it crappy?
I was still having fun shooting, and a guy and son show up. I am down range, and see him messing with his rifle, when I come back I tell him to leave the guns alone while folks are downrange. He says the bolt was out (open) so it was okay.
Then he sends his kid downrange to set up a target, and scopes the kid.
Then, while I am shooting a string, I come off the sights and glance over and see assmaster-1 and his dumbass seed passing the 50 yard marker on their way downrange.
I packed up my crap, stuffed it all in the back of the jeep, and headed to the club snack shop to turn this dufuss in.
I didn't even head over to the pistol range, cause the morning was spoiled.

That was mighty stupid of them, wasn't it?  Sounds like your SKS problem is bugging you a little, tho.  Tomorrow's another day, this one's just a bad memory now.

Dont feel bad, I didnt make it that far yet. You gave up too easy, should have seen if they could dance. He was training the kid, Im sure...to be a human garbage moving target. Better luck next time. Tried differant kinds of ammo in that SKS?

I tried American Eagle, Norinco softpoint, and ammoman's current russian special. I just can't get under 4" 6-shot groups. W

Sounds like trading material. My 2 ruskies and one Chinese shoot fine, luck I guess. Ever go to Simonov.net? They explain a lot, good info about SKSs. Markings etc.

what do the groups look like? At what range?  Benchresting? Iron sights?

Circle groups. Some in the middle, some out as far as 4 inches. If I shot 30 or so at the same target, I would expect to see a cluster ending 4" out.
This is off a front and rear bag. Both bags are under the stock.
(I do know how to shoot iron sights, my M1s, with the right load, will go one MOA fairly easily.)

Try different ammo, including handlosds.  Check muzzle for wear/dings from improper cleaning/abuse.  Simonov.net is good idea.
