MORE GUNS! MORE VALUES! MORE OF WHAT YOU NEED! In the Updated It's mostly a safe queen but I don't object to shooting it, I just don't have any good long-range ranges around me, plus I really kind of don't know what I'm doing when it comes to long range stuff.Acknowledgments/about the editor/our cover gun So for that reason, plus the fact that I imagine 7.62x51mm has different ballistic trajectory than 7.62x54R, I picked up a fixed-power scope for it (I think it's a 8x, couldn't find a 12x even though I think they exist). (you zoom in to get a better view of the target - oops now you're not aiming where you thought you were) That's useful for shooting at man-sized targets at different ranges but for shooting at paper at one range with different magnifications, it's fucking terrible. The thinking is that if you're zooming in, you must be shooting at something further away, so it angles the scope down so you end up aiming higher to compensate for bullet drop over the increased range. They're offset to the side, and the variable power ones do this thing when you adjust the magnification where they basically try to automatically compensate for bullet drop by angling the scope down/up as you increase/decrease magnification. Guy who sold it to me said that the Chinese actually bought a Russian factory with all the tooling and even some in-progress pieces, so some of the early serial numbers have parts with Russian markings. Chinese NDM-86 (Dragunov clone) chambered in.
