Default Acceptable accuracy...

With my Yugo 24/47 8mm Mauser. I have shot some other handloads, that were for my Czech and could not even get that thing to hit the broad side a barn!! So, I purchased this as-issued Yugo, and plan to see what I can do. Right now I have some 175 grain Sierra Pro-Hunters loaded on top of 50 Grains of IMR 4350 inside Remington Cases with CCI 200 Primers. What kind of accuracy at 100 yards should I strive for with these rifles and the un-modified sights and trigger? I am thinking 2" at 100 yds should not be completely out of reach, maybe a little bigger? I may even buy a Timney Sportsman trigger and put on, just to make the trigger pull a little more pleasant, but I want to keep this rifle in as original condition as possible! Thanks guys!!
