I just picked up a Wasr10 with a folding stock and was wondering what the maximum effective range of this rifle was? It is in 7.63x39mm. I have heard the general rule is within 300m but I am not sure. I purchased this to supplement the supplies I keep in my car and so I have little experience with this weapon system, having mostly handled the AR family of weapons. Also I would appreciate any tips that might come in handy.  Thanks |

depends. a lot of it is you, the shooter controls a majority of the aim. sure, the wsar may have a larger moa than other guns(mine is tight) but, practice makes perfect. the iron sights suck. they make your max range very short. you'll have a hard time hitting targets in small groups with them, if you are looking to do any distance shooting, grab a scope. welcome to the dark side.  heres a hint, take it out and shoot it til it smokes. break it in good. dont treat it like a lady. |

It all boils down to how good YOU are. I can hit a refrigerator at 300 yards pretty consistantly with my WASR10. If I understand why you have the weapon, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Most hunting shots are well under 100 yards and most self defense shootings are at a distance of about 3 feet. |

Among other sites, remington.com has a nice comparison chart for diff rounds. I draw the line at where a round drops fast, so it is no longer just point and shoot. The 47 round drops as much from 150-200 as it does from 0-150. The 74 and 5.56 rounds do the same general thing at 250. The damage a round does when it hits is a whole 'nother thing.... |
how did you get yours tight, just wondering, had a wasr before, getting another soon, and wanted to know if anything can be worked on or added to, to give tighter groupings. |
shove ice cubes in the butt stock. |
