@nwrepka Thanks. I'd bet you can get tighter groups with more premium ammo, but it costs a lot more. It all depends on what you're trying to do. For plinking fun, I'm using steel-cased Russian ammo, which runs about $4.50 US per box of 20. For deer hunting, or other precise shooting, I'll need much better ammo, which costs more than three times the price.
Like the others said, good shooting, and very nice gun. My only little gripe with this video, is you never said what kind of ammo you were shooting. I'll bet I'm not the only one that wants to know.
Awesome good times. I have a 54 Tula and I love shooting it. It's a non refurb no import marks. Non baked on finish all blued and numbers match. I have norincos and chinese ones and an albanian they all shoot great very fun guns. Excellent form in prone and very good video, so many people knock the 7.62x39 round but I"ve taken deer out to 300 yards with it. It's not a lack of power it's a lack of shooting skill I always say. Keep up the good work awesome video.
@airsofter95062 depends, if it is in original condition non-refurb. its not bad, you could get one for a little over 500
I got mine which is a refurbished model for about 400 bucks
you can tell if its a refurb because it will have a blued bolt carrier and a stamping on the receiver cover that looks like a box with a slash through it.
In terms of accuracy I'd say they're pretty close. Hard to say for sure after only one outing though. One thing I can tell you for sure is that the CZ is more comfortable to shoot repeatedly, the pistol grip is much easier on the wrist compared to the traditional stock on the SKS. The sights are the same and the ballistics are the same so it pretty much comes down to ergonomics. I'm going out again this weekend, I might try to get some side by side comparisons.
Nice looking SKS

could you post where you bought the wolf ammo again? Did you cross border order? Can you purchase this ammo brand in Canada?
Thanks; Love your vids

Not impossible. Although you've a much better shot at finding me out there on Service rifle days than F-Class days.
