How far can /k/ shoot a 10 inch plate 9/10 times with their AR15?

I''m too poor for optics so I can get 9/10 with irons at about 130yds max.

That's not too bad depending on the size of the plate and quality of the build anon. Unless you have fine, thin iron sights it can be difficult. Probably better than a lot of people on here, especially those who buy but don't shoot.

Related, I took a stock SKS out during the end of the day when the wind calmed down and both my brother and I could do 2/10 after we got the hold over.

Close friend is in the marine core and he's not by any means a braggart but reports similar hits with his better guys and him. I think you use a bigger plate and at least nicer ammunition through a longer gun but he doesn't know how true that is either? I know he's a better shot than me, I'm new to this, I've always done handguns or fudd rifles within 150 yards before. My dad never liked handguns so naturally thats where my obsession went but after he retired he got really into long range shooting and everything is black and gucci now that he owns and Im trying to learn from him every chance I get now that i live within a hundred miles. It's fucking satisfying shooting that far and I can't stop thinking about it.

what type of SKS is it? I have a chinese one, and the front sight is so goddamn wide it's unbelievable. every AK I've used has had better sights.

Save, everyone needs one long range gun. A 6.5 creedmore tikka t3x will be a sub moa gun, be of high quality out of the box, and use a short action which is preferable for any aftermarket parts unless you have to have a magnum caliber. You can get it, good mounts, and a decent glass for ~$1500 and if you ever want to upgrade the rifle, probably won't need to, parts are there and the glass can be moved down to a lesser gun.

Related is 6.5x47 t3x in x-ray stock and uses AI mags.

maybe I live out in the desert like you, my friend. where I live it's very hilly.

don't get me wrong, I think long range shooting would be a great thing to learn, but A) I have nowhere to practice it, and B) in the event I were hunting here, or in the VERY unlikely event I needed to defend myself with a rifle, the shooting distance could almost never be greater than 400m.

Yugo SKS, friend has Chinese and I've never thought to compare but I'd believe it's fatter. I used the meter notch at 400 meters so I had to aim under a bit. I think that's much harder with the notch covering, I've had a huge issue with that type of thing in the past shooting archery where I have up on getting my groups any smaller without getting a new sight.

If you don't have somewhere to shoot it's understandable, that much for a toy you never get to use is a poor investment. I started like you, I live around the brush dense and hilly area of the Arkansas-Arizona border but recently I got lucky and met a few nice guys with farms that all said I can hunt on them and I'd like to be able to hunt across several states. It's a money hobby but a really satisfying one only if you have a place to do it. Ask around and meet people, even if you don't have the gun to do it it's fun just to try when you get the chance, good luck anon.
