My scope can zero multiple rounds and I need to zero it with Wolf as well. Point of impact is about 2-3 inches different and it does not group quite as well. Federal supposedly makes a good 7.62x39 round I need try at some point.

All I’ve ever used in my SKS is Wolf, Tula and some generic white boxed stuff. It wouldn’t know how to behave with good ammo. It’s pretty accurate without an optic with the cheap stuff, I’d think it would shoot well with better ammo.Quote:

Sure thing. If the Citadel would have had the choke tubes with it that the CD has it would have come home with me today. The $100+ difference in price and no choke tubes was too much for this version of the Citadel to overcome.Quote:

That is a really spiffy shot right thru the middle of the 1. What caliber bullet did you use for that shot? That looks smaller than even the .177
Bostitch 18 gauge :)

I was hoping you had latched on to one of these

This is why I ordered ammo when this started, even 22. Got guns and ammo, you can get everything else. :)Quote:

I use 7.62x39 for plinking and stuff, so I buy cheaper Tula, Wolf, etc., for my SKS. My primary defense calibers/ gauges are 9mm, .223/5.56, and 12 gauge.Quote:

Hey, if you have plenty of ammo it is an incentive to purchase a few more guns to go with it
lol. Good point.Quote:

$1.99 for a box is a darn good price. Academy Sports here has Aguila for $2.49 for a box, and I thought *that* was a good price.
www.sgammo.com. .22LR 40 and 36 gr starting at 0.04/round. Doesn't include shipping, but it's pretty reasonable. Good small business operation on this site, I like them.
FWIW I can't get it wholesale cheaper than the bulk sites sell for at retail. I could if I order a truckload. Hmmm.......
Rural King advertised the Aguila recently for $2.49 and never had any in stock.Quote:

Thanks for the link. They actually have ammo in stock at good prices and they promised to get it out the door tomorrow, maybe even tonight.
I like doing business with independent operations, specially mom and pop stores.
They're a good one. Very fair prices, if not outright the cheapest, and great service.
I may buy another bunch of 22 just to be safe. Price is still a good penny per round higher than normal, but that's not crazy.
Any of you guys own a Tikka?
I've sold a couple of Sako rifles, but never fired one.
I will not own nor shoot anything I can not pronounce.Quote:

I am intrigued by this round as a replacement of my .30-‘06 as a deer hunting round. A flatter shooting round with less recoil becomes more desirable as one gets older. When you choose a rifle you’ll have to give us a report on your thoughts.
It’s not hard to pronounce its common shortened name, STG 44.Quote:

I'm 40, far from being older (in my mind at least lol). But my shoulder and really my entire right arm has some nerve damage. All this talk about 12 gauge in this thread makes me hurt.
It will be a while before I get one. Probably fall or maybe even Christmas. But hopefully fall. Currently looking at the Tikka 3x lite or the Tikka CTR. I've watched a lot of YouTube lately on the 6.5 rounds and those seem to be the cream of the crop in my price range.
Huh?Quote:
