vz58/vortex sparc reddot

[cz671]

decided to try out my sparc red dot on the vz, actually was on my ar15.  decided to try i out on a bigger caliber round.  got to only shoot 50 yards, but will eventually shoot for 100 yards. some pics and range results

Nice shooting, that Vortex work pretty good for you? Like the pic with the red light reflected in the front sight post.

thanks armoredman, it works very well.  my only gripe is that it does not co-witness.  another forum member tried the sparc with the NEA mount and still does not co-witness.  as for the front sight post, its some kind of red glue to hold the post from moving, it came like tht from cz-usa.   will try 100 yards tomorrow.

Oh, that's interesting looked like blurred reflection. I never got my EOTech to co-witness, either, too bulky.

heres 100 yards from yesterday, 10 shots each.  the tape as a reference at 100 yards is covered by the 2moa dot with the 2x magnifier
as you can see, head shot shows nice group of 4, then decided to do a rainbow effect ha,ha, shooter.  124 fmj wolf

then let it cool down with better results, on center mass.  123gr bear



all in all descent groupings from a vz, i think with a more solid handguard would yield better results.  i know for a fact that the CAA hanguards are not solid as compared to the FAB ones.

Very nice - I need a shooting rest, I just brace the elbows on the bench and fire. When circumstances permit, I'll get my vz back out with irons to see how well I can do now.

I mentioned on another thread that I replaced the upper handguard retention pin with a SS socket head cap screw. Re-zero is not a problem, and the sight doesn't wobble either. This is with the CAA upper guard. I used SS washers to limit damage and spread the force on the handguard. No visible damage after 400+ rounds.

I would love to have the B&T furniture, but it's just too expensive. I'll just have to tolerate maintenance with an allen wrench and socket.

thanks amo, i know a vz on a rest but was shooting my bolt guns that day and decided to use it since it was out already.  shooting without a rest is more of a challenge.
thanks eth77, i do remember on another thread.  i know the B&T is pricey, but decided to take the plunge and get one from the mako group, sure looks like the B&T but not really sure
not my vz, but this is how the vfr vz handguards look

[armoredman]

That's nice.    Why not use a rest? I wish I had one, would take most of the guesswork out of my long range loads.
