I'll be snotty then. As I said above, you play the game you take your chances. Some SKS's are accurate, some are not. If you look long enough, you will find an accurate one. Curt's is. And that gun is capable of long range accuracy on targets. I've known guys before who say a rifle isn't accurate, and they can't hit the inside of the barn. Then when someone else picks up the gun, it shoots just fine. Hmmm...
