What's the furthest distance you can shoot accurately using iron sights with the following rifles?
- SKS
- AKM
- Mosin Nagant M44
- AK-74
- VEPR 7.62x54R
Also which weapon is best suited for 500+ yard engagements?
>>29723522
vepr with full length barrel
vepr and nugget share ammo and practical accuracy. but the vepr with long barrel would turn out a better trajectory. so, yeah.
SKS - Probably 200, mine has shit trigger.
M44- Mine is roughly handled but has a mirror barrel and reliable trigger, probaly near 400
91/30 round reciever- 200, the point of aim on these is a joke
SVT40- probably 200, these are not that accurate
this is the kind of environment I'm talking about
what kind of rifle of the above should a soldier carry? judging that the enemy is using 5.56mm NATO garbage?

Me personally?
>SKS
Like under 100 yards, shitty trigger, the stock feels horrible and the sights suck (at least thats how my Norinco is)
>AKM
Like 200 yards maybe.
>M44
I've hit steel silhouettes at 1000 yards with mine before, but consistently I can hit 500 yard silhouettes.
>AK-74
I don't know, never shot one past 100 yards
>VEPR x54r
I don't know, I've never shot one before.
>Also which weapon is best suited for 500+ yard engagements?
VEPR with a scope. Anything x39 isn't going to be very effective or easy to shoot past 400 yards.
I'm farsighted and I can see further than the x39 can hit.
Funny thing is I don't even own any 7.62x54r weapons yet and i've been hoarding 7.62x54r.
Probably because i'm severely autistic.
>Do you guys think I could make a re-weld DP-28 build sub 2moa ?
Not OP, but what ranges do you have to qualify at to get marksman in the muhreens?
>>29723522
Never shot a VEPR, so I can only guess, but for the others I can reliably do 500 yards at a man sized target.
>>29723668
200, 300, and 500. Can't remember if it's yards or meters though.
>>29723603
>judging that the enemy is using 5.56mm NATO garbage?
Well, you'd best get some long range caliber like 6.5CM/7RM/338LM because 5.56 can still reach out to 1000 yds.
>>29723702
of course it can, but what is most appropriate?
>>29723739
74 of course.
>>29723522
Personally?
At a man (or deer sized target) kneeling:
250m with a M59/66 and Brown Bear or better (it is picky)
Don't have an AKM or similar, only shoot other people's, around 200
I have three M44s, the best has the bayonet ripped off and lug ground down. Maybe 350-400 meters, depending on conditions
Never fired a decent AK-74
Never fired a VEPR.
I can hit a prarie dog at 200 meters iron sighted with my best M91/30 and have taken several dozen deer at "it's a fucking speck" ranges, over 500 meters. My two other M91/30s are fucking useless, with dinner plate groups at 100 meters.
The best weapon for 500-1000 meter engagements is probably going to be a GPMG in x51 or x54r, depending on how committed to Slavshit you are, short of going to a marksman system or a larger machine gun.

Actually, there's been a lot of people saying that the Vepr with a shorter barrel has better harmonics, giving better groupings.
>>29723640
Tell ya what m8, you should just give me some of that 54r. Giving it to me would help cure your 'tism.
Sks farthest I've gotten 300 yard (longs range I've been to with it
Mosin m44 500 yards
AK 74 300 (idk why but Aks for me are hard to shoot
>>29723603
I'd go with 7.62 x51 you can pop targets easy enough and if they carry NATO rounds you might be able to strip them for more ammo
>>29723603
A soldier should carry whatever is light, works and everyone else carries.
But if it's just one dude on his own, and he's not a shit shot, then he should be carrying anything 6.5 and up, and preferably in a full rifle length cartridge.
>>29723603
7mm TCM is a good round for that. Basically 5.56 necked up to 7mm. best part is a simple barrel change to 5.56 and you're good to go with using your adversary's ammunition
