Accuracy: SAR-1 vs SKS

[XHairs]

So how do the accuracy of the SKS compare to the AR?

Just curious.

For me, the AR is very accurate. I don't have the SKS yet and can't comment, but I'm looking forward to doing a comparison, although I don't think it'll match the AR15. The AR is almost boringly accurate at 100-200 yds, meaning that the challenge seems almost gone for me. I'll be extending the distance when I can, but welcome the challenge of hitting, with reasonable accuracy, w/ the 7.62x39mm cartridge at 100-300 yds. The plus is that the SKS/762 combo is very inexpensive fun.

'Good enough. It looks like I'll be adding one to my collection by summer. Thanks, people.

Well, I couldn't wait 'til summer, did the paperwork last night, and should be able to take her home by Friday. Unissued and snorkeling in cosmo, $155 out the door from a local dealer. I think that if I waited until summer, they'd all be gone.

That is how I always justify my purchases :wink:

although the sks does seem to be decently accurate, i havent shot mine enough to see just how accurate, i dont think one could ever match an AR15. it would be nice if it could, but i dont think its posible. and trust me ive researched this a lot. it would be nice to outshoot a guy that spent 900+ on his gun and you only spent around 200. nobody even bales barrels for an sks, that would be a big stel to try and get the most accuracy out of one. i doubt the chambers in them are very tight.
