So I went ahead and counter bored, both my Yugo SKS, and Mauser with a drill press. The Yugo SKS seems like a better more centered counter bore it shoot very accurately at approximately 90-100 yards I managed to get 5 shoots into what I want to say was roughly 1 1/2 inches or 2 which is obviously great. It was within the bulls eye and the first ring, I have never seen it shoot that accurately in the 6 years or so I have had it. My Mauser is less accurate maybe 4 inch groups at a 100 yards. However, at 50 yards I can get the holes to touch, and no more fliers flying off circles, so it seems slightly improved, but not by much, its never really seemed that accurate. Yet I hear all these stories about 2 inch groups or even 1 inch groups at 100 yards. I am using a rest perhaps when I cock the piece, and I lose sight picture, I miss align the piece. Is this a common problem with bolt actions(or in shooters?) Do iron sights usually yield less than stellar groupings on a bolt gun?That or the rifle is inaccurate, though that seems unlikely since it seems reasonable at 50 yards I don't think the bullet just suddenly spirals out of control past 50 yards... Anyways I am just curious I don't plan on ever scoping or dumping any more money into it. I tried sporterizing it with a Boyds stock, but it literally blew it to pieces, and created huge cracks. Perhaps, installed it wrong or maybe it was because it was for an m-48! Will be getting K98 soon looking forward to removing the shellac lI think milsurpitus has finally caught up with me LOL happy holidays!
