[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1174032, member: 18945"] Depends. I've had one since 2007 and find it shoots as accurate as any other rifle I've owned out to about 250 yards, but drops off quickly after that. No where near as flat a trajectory as a .270 but adequate for my purposes. I think you will be surprised at the kick--or lack of it. It's weight helps to lessen the kick. A discussion of SKS recoil here: [url=http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-297998.html]http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/inde ... 97998.html[/url] To me, the sks has very very little recoil--about the same or less than the M14 I fired a lot of rounds thru when I was in the service. The gas piston in most semiautos slows down or extends the time of total recoil some. Here's a recoil table of various rifles and bullet velocities--recoil in lbs/ft at far right: [url=http://www.aquilafirearms.com/RifleOptionsAndComponents/MuzzleBrakes.htm]http://www.aquilafirearms.com/RifleOpti ... Brakes.htm[/url] And just for fun: [youtube]ZrdXcpnKsgQ[/youtube] [/QUOTE]
