I know a few people in the forum have this and wondering if anyone has a range report with respect to it's accuracy, quality,etc.

 

It looks like a good deal from Aimsurplus. I was looking for something fun to shoot with long range capabilities.

 

It also comes with a scope.

I have one from them and one from classicarms.us they both are fun and are decently accurate some more then others.

They are new military surplus so do not expect to see a real looker when it comes out of the box. They are considered to be

more of a DMR not a sniper rifle and do not anyone else try to tell you other wise. They are accurate up to 800 yards some

can hit further but do not expect real tight grouping. I have had mine out at NJRPC up to 200 yards with the stock optic and held 3-4" groups. With a better optic it will do hold a tighter group, for what it is it's fairly cheap, the ammo right now is plentiful and cheap compared to 30-06 or .308 and they are just all around fun to shoot.

I love mine. It is an absolute hoot to shoot. I was having fun not going for accuracy when i shot it, but was still getting 2" groups at 100yds. If you want to try mine at cherry ridge one day just let me know when anytime in the next 2 weeks. (except saturday, going to a gunshow)

damn at 600 bucks thats a freaking steal!!!

 

Droooooool!!!

 

No money, so I'll just sit here and wimper.

 

If you do order, if it saves money on shipping i'd be interested in ordering some ammo possibly.

Quick note, only shoot light ball ammo out of the PSL heavy ball will do damage over time.

I prefer the Bulgarian light ball over most others, I get better accuracy from it.

Ask tiny... he has 2. er had 2.

I love mine, and its a good deal at that price

I got one from J&G Sales about a month ago. Good quality and lots of fun shooting it. The scope was covered in some sort of wax that took some time to get rid of, but once cleaned was also in great shape.

Cosmoliine oil, it's a preserver of metal, comes off fast with some heat.

I have some experience with cosmoline when I bought my Mosin a few month ago. This time there was a relatively small amount of cosmoline on the rifle itself (compared to M/N) but the scope was covered in something that looked like wax. It had the same texture as wax and color too. I was hesitant to use any strong solvents like acetone on optics so I tried things like Goo-Gone and was able to remove it without damaging the scope. Actually the same stuff was inside the scope cover that came with the rifle. I used steamer to get it out of it.
