Owner of a one year old Zastava PAP-M70.
Slapped on a TxWpnsSys railed top cover and an EOTech.
First time out with the EOTech mounted, and it took me about 20rds to get my groups centered at 50yds. What impressed me was that every shot in my five shot strings were touching.
So I'd crank on the knobs a bit and move my groups down and left and down and left and then back up and right (I was bracket sighting so I overshot)
Once I finally got the group in place I ran the paper out to 100yds and was even more surprised to put down 2in groups at that distance. (I'm wondering now if this rifle can outperform my shooting?!)
Kinda shocking to me as this is my first AK pattern rifle and I was honestly expecting "minute of man" groups. Now I'm not so hesitant to take this rifle hogging...
What's more, is that out of the box this rifle had problems feeding JHP's but has since decided it doesn't mind them so much. Every other mag was FMJ or JHP for 200rds and not a hiccup. (I did have a hang fire with my Tula, first one ever)
Anyway, long story short I wanted to zero my rifle at the range with my new sight and was extremely impressed. Should I have been?
How well does yours perform?
(I know, I know, pics or it didn't happen. Spaced on those but I'll put some up next time I go out.)
