I target-shoot a bit, and just plink. I have a Kiev 3X - 9X scope on it, so I can generally do okay out to a thousand yards or so, but, above that, that excess windage (7.62mm round in an oestensible 8mm barrel) cuts in, and accuracy drops off a bit. I haven't even shot the damned thing in two or three years and don't currently have any ammunition at hand. To repel all the burglars dying to burst in here to deprive me of my Red Dots, I do have my father's dress sabre hanging on the wall.
