Sighting in my SKS
This would also apply for my mini 30 sighting plan.
I saw a ex spec ops guy who has studied the AK for years and also said he had used it in some of his operations. He says to zero at 15 yards and since we are technically zeroing the 7.62 by 39 round, I'm considering applying this for my SKS and my mini 30. This puts you 5 high at 100, 4 high at 200 and 7 low at 300. The round pretty much drops like a rock after 300 yards or so.
If you zero at 100 yards, the round has dropped 21(hollow point) to 27(124 fmj) inches by 300 which is a hard distance to guestimate. With a 15 yard zero, you can basically hold the same poa from 0 out to 300 yards and remain in the torso hit zone of 2 legged animals.
I don't know if this would be the best for a deer rifle though. Maybe it should still be zero'd at 100 for 7.62-39 round that that would be one of my questions on this. If you zero at 100 and need to make a 300 yard shot on a deer where do you hold over? Maybe it is not wise to try and shoot a deer at 300 yards with this round? Is the top of the deers back around 21 inches higher than the vital organ or heart/lung kill zone?
I have my original sight back on my SKS for right now. How do you sight the rifle with that thing so you can use the battle sight position? My understanding is that the marks are in meters so it would be like 347 yards I think it is for the battle sight zero.
I finally got a laser bore sight. Every time I need to thoroughly clean my SKS I have to take the scout scope mount and sight off and then it never goes back on exactly the same.
