POSP 8X42, lite reticule, sliding sun shade.
Suppress it, no.
It shoots good for a Saiga, so I'm gonna stop right there with the exception of hand loading.

did you shoot it at 321 yards at all? if you are shooting out your back door, i am jealous.

321yds lacks 8 feet of 300 meters, but I call it the 300 meter range.
I,ve had other projects taking priority and have not finished the final testing.
That is out of my shop window BTW. heated in winter AC in summer LOL

gunny,
what brand of t-hole stock are you using, and could you please give some more details on the triger job. I have some stones but I read on a diffrent sight that lapping compound will work but laping compound seems a little odd.

As you can see from the video.
The surfaces were stoned, then polished to 800 grit.
look for jewlers rouge, solid bars of polishing compound.
