I went out today and shot my sks for the 1st time about 10 years to make sure I did not need to do any bolt or anything alse mechanical to it. Just scoped it have not bore sighted and did not think i was going to hit the target (I did not) firing 1 winchster 123 softpoint and 9 russion (not wolf) hunting hp, walked up to the target not surprised not to find any holes in it. looked over to a small 6in dia. tree about 6in from the target there was one hole all the way threw. I was only 25 yards away and no bench.

ok I forgot something,, Should of I USED that hole the bore sight the rifle since it was only foot from the center of target and only 2 in up and being the only hole I could find?

if I remember this the first time I would not have had someone make me fell like an idiot.

If you are on a bench where the rifle is extremely to prevent ANY movement,all you have to do is fire shot,adjust crosshairs to first shot placement,and you will be exactly sighted in. Always fire a second shot to reaffirm and check adjustment.
