RJF 1,000 Yard AK

[uscbigdawg]

Frankly, you are lucky to find sights or optics that are true MOA. My Leupold 6.5x20 seems to be. My Tubb rifle isn't because sight movement is dependant on barrel length and my bloop tube extends mine a bit. I know that my service rifle moves a precise amount per click, but I have never calculated whether that is equal to true 1/4 MOA. The only way to know for sure is to test your gear.

100000% Agree

Group size and what you dial for adjustments are completely different bananas (since group size is what we were talking about) and after doing better than average at the Allegheny Sniper Challenge 308 only match, I think I know a little about dialing elevation and reading the wind at distance. It's one thing to shoot fixed distance targets off a vice/bi-pod. It's another to hit UKD targets at over 1k in >20 mph steady winds, in the weather, at elevation and prone on a mat being a dream.

Since we're on bowl suspension for another year, figured I'd bother y'all.

dzelenka doesn't have a real life.

To me it looked like they used the 7.62x39 saiga. If your looking to get good ballistics and accuacy at 1000yds why not use the 7.62x51(.308) saiga?

Not sure what gun they used, but Federal does not make Gold medal match for 7.62x39 and Black Hills does not produce 7.62x39 ammo at all. 175 gr is not even an option for 7.62x39 ammo anywhere I have found either. Im like 99% positive, that weapon is a 308 caliber.

From MOJO@RJF:

with Black Hills 175 and Gold Medal Match.

He doesn't really exist.

I wonder how an AK would do with just the trigger improvements and a better scope mount...

Triggers make a vast improvement to AK's as do they on most every rifle!

I was happy that I was able to keep it under 3.5 MOA at1,000

My Barrett

Funny I read somewhere in a snipers log that you hit a target at almost a mile with that beast.

You saw the log?

When was this?

ETA: See my other post.

Aren't you supposed to shoot a group at one hundred yards, multiply by 10, and that gives you your 1000 yard group

He's the abominable snowman. He used to be the most interesting man in the world, but he shaved.

I guess you could load 7.62 x 39 with .308 bullets.
I also bet that custom barrel wasn't a .311 bore!

 

[Gringo Loco]

congrats you made a long range, auto loading, reliable rifle!! Dragunov, psl54c, M21, m14, m1a, fal never accomplished that? rebarrel a saiga..good stuff!!

 

[LACamper]

No, Gringo, he turned a cheap sloppy off the shelf gun into a long range tack driver. That is impressive machining.

I Wish the Dragunov's I've played with, or my FAL's or M1A's shot that well!

 

[jmanrogers]

Was it a Romanian PSL or a true Dragunov? I heard that a few made it in the country, but they have to be worth a fortune.

Most "Dragunovs" you see are indeed Romanian PSLs, but there's definitely Dragunovs out there. Quite a few guys on the AK Forum have them. They are pricey, but dayum they are sexy.

I missed the show tonight, was it shooting 7.62x54r? .308?
