So the 93 Mauser in 7.62 x 39 saw some action on Monday, I have acheap scope on it and a decent trigger in it, and I put about a hundred rounds of tulammo through it.

And man did I suck.

I had to pick up a friends gun and shoot it some to make sure i could still shoot. I can. I put 10 rounds of 223 downrange about, oh, 50 yards, offhand, and I think you could have covered the resulting group with a quarter.

So either the barrel I have is for shit, the ammo is crappy (THe Tulammo did seem to vary in recoil) and or the scope is moving. And there remains the “I suck” portion of the equation.

But it shouldn’t be. THis little rifle ought to shoot fine, and if I can take all the variables out of it, and it doesn’t start shooting better, it will find a new home. I would gwt a nice group and then it would fan out five inches across. i know I don’t suck that much.
