G-MAN Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 My 799 in 7.62x39 arrived yesterday. Man was that thing gobbed up with grease! It took me about 4 hours to get it clean. I got the scope bases put on last night and then mounted the scope this morning and took it to the range. I bore sighted it at 50 yards and fired a few rounds through it to loosen up the action and get it grouping under 3". Out of the box the action was very stiff and rough. But much to my delight after about 20 rounds not only did the action loosen up and smooth out, so did the trigger. Once I moved out to 100 yards and readjusted the scope, my groups quickly went from 3.5" to around 1.25". Here was my best 3-shot group at 100 yards: I think with handloads and .311 bullets, this could easily be a sub MOA rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The Russian ammo has the correct .311 bullets.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
