Halfway to go.
'Kay. Still happy about it.
Yeah. I have talked about it with Val but not here:
I went to the shooting range to finally christen my CZ 858 and a friend had brought his newly purchased SVT-40. T'was a lot of fun and to be honest I thought the SVT will have much more recoil but the the rifle is actually quite heavy when holding it in hands and has more muzzle flip than recoil.
I was expecting some sharp recoil but it is quite pleasant actually. It is just pushing you back. The sharp part is the muzzle flip though even with the break at the end. T'was blast to shoot but I will say I do rather prefer the 858. Not just recoil wise but is by far more comfortable to shoot because it is far more lighter and shorter.
The only problem we faced was that the fella had been shooting the same target I was and both rifles are 7.62. Haven't had the slightest idea whose hit was whose and from which gun. The range is 30 meters long. Finding a long distance range here is pain because there isn't many of the to begin with. I believe we have like only one 1km range for civilians on the other side of the country... Well can't do much about that. The important thing is it was fun to shoot and the 858 isn't so sparklingly clean anymore and never will be... At least the gas piston. :D
