I wanted to run this by a community with expertise in this area that I can trust.
I just recently bought an Arsenal Saiga AK-47 and was pretty happy with the results at 100 yards that I just shot down Atterbury. My groups ranged from 1.75" to 3.75" which is honestly about how well I was hoping to shoot with this rifle but I want to try to get just the right ammo to maybe do a consistent sub 2 MOA group at 100 yards.
I recently posted on another forum asking for tips regarding ammo that works best with this rifle model and what is the best I can do in group size at 100 yards. One of the members posted a target picture stating that shot a 1 MOA at 200 yards! My first reaction is that there is no way in hell someone can do a 2 inch group or 1 MOA at 200 yards with a Saiga AK-47 using russian steel cased ammo.
Am I being too cynical here? Is it really possible to do this or is this perhaps someone fudging his data?
The first image is the target I shot at 100 yards with my Arsenal Saiga AK using DoubleTap ammo, probably as close to "match" ammo as you can get in 7.62 without doing your own loads.
This is the target posted by a member of another forum that he claims was done at 200 yards using the same rifle model and using Brown Bear Russian ammo:
