    Talking Romanian Drago @ the range

    I finally got the gun running very well, even got the sight somewhat figured out. The amazing thing was the ammo. I brought up five different type and got five distinct groups. I didn't get a pic of one of them, because I was getting primer blow through with it and stopped using it even though it shot the best. Please keep in mind these groups were shot with a 14 Lb + trigger pull. when I got the gun home I cleaned it and promptly adjusted the trigger to a decent 2 stage trigger 4 lbs take-up and 7.5" to fire. I think this may help improve the overall performance, I know I should alter an original guns, but, exceptions sometime must be made. As you will see in the pics is the distinct differences in location on the target, this was a result of different ammo, I've never seen such a spread like that. The PU would run circles around this gun with mixed ammo, but, with the right ammo it should shoot very well. All comments are welcomed-SDH

    PS, all groups were shot at 100 yards with 10 MPH wind, sun to the rear
