The sighting is way off from the factory, and I'm trying to figure out where the basic 100 yd. setting is for open sights. I've fired close to 6 rounds at $2 a piece through it, and I still cannot cut paper at 100 yds. Also, I can't tell where they hit, and neither can my spotter.

Could someone please tell me where the 100 yd. setting for the rear sight is on this rifle. The sights are the basic rear ramp sights with the standard front post with hood. I am firing Hornady Leverevolution ammo through it.

It was nice to see so many people with AKs of all flavors, even a long barreled .308 Saiga! Also got lots of brass and convinced my nephew about the economy of reloading. It was nice to actually see some brass on the ground, as the local public range here in VA is picked clean by a range officer who allegedly sells the brass and donates to the local boy scouts who, by my reckoning, should be the best-funded scout troop around here. So he claims... :( At least the nephew has started his own little bucket of brass collection and he's all excited about loading up some "free" ammo :)

He and grampa (aka Rookie) had fun loading up some rounds for his bolt action 30-30. I think the funny moment was when some younger guys beside us asked what "the older gentleman" was shooting. I keep reminding dad since he just had a birthday! :rofl:

While Rookie had some problems with his .357-44 Bain and Davis loads, everything else went off without a hitch (he didn't neck them properly and they fed tightly). All the AK-74s we built "just worked". Now the nephew keeps asking his Uncle Jerry when he's going to get his own AK-74... I figure we'll probably build him one for Christmas! Everything else was just plinking. I must say the 6.5mm Swedish mauser is a joy to shoot!

I dont have the hicap mags yet. we have some tatical solution composits coming. It was fun to build. My 9 year old read the instructions out as we tried to figure out were all the pins and parts went. he had a better clue than we did by the time it was done than we did. the kit is vary nicely machined and went to with just a hammer and punch for the sights and a set of allen wrenches. were planning on taking it out on our next praire dog hunting trip LOL :) might make a mount for the AtV if its legal in that state.

Looks nice shoots straight, kills deer well out to 300yds. Then its my eyes not the rifle.
