It's a good shooter.
The sights are factory set starting at 300 meters. Once I figured out how high it was shooting at 100 yards I could get them in the black. I 2 - 3 inch groups when I was careful, which for my eyes is darn good. That was with 150 gr Romanian surplus ammo made in 1972. Fifty-five rounds of that. Next I ran 35 Yugoslavian 196 gr surplus, made Nov 1956. I could feel the difference in my shoulder. It shot a bit higher and did about the same on groups. Every single round fired with no problems.
To end the rifle session I shot 5 Wolf brand 196 gr, new non-corrosive boxer primed load and 5 Sellier & Bellot 196 gr. For all I know those are the same stuff; they produced very similar 2 inch groups, better than the mil-surplus stuff. More $$ too, mind you.
In case anyone is interested and for what it's worth, the Yugo stripper clips are much nicer than the Romanian. Both the Romanian and the Yugo came loaded on 5 shot strippers, but the Yugo slid into the magazine much easier. With the Romanian I was at the point where it seemed easier, less trouble, to remove the ammo from the stripper and load the rile one at a time. Maybe it's me? But the Yugo slipped into the magazine with real ease.
Now I have to decide if I want to buy a spam can of surplus, or buy more of the Wolf or S&B, save the reloadable brass and go that way.
One thing I'll admit to is the Romanian 150 gr is much easier on the shoulder if all you are doing is killing paper.
I'm also thinking of trying a Mojo aperture sight. It mounts in place of the stock rear sight so the firearm can be returned to original condition and leave no trace.
