I picked up a 91/30 Tula Mosin-Nagant rifle recently, made in the late 1930's. It seems to be standard issue but has a good bore. I have some Russian made 147 grain ammo coming from Sportsman's Guide. I know the ammo is Berdan primed and corrosive.
What would be considered reasonable accuracy at 200 to 300 yards, using the original iron sights, from a bench rest? Assume I'm not messing things up. (I know, a big assumption!) I don't expect MOA accuracy but don't know if I should be happy with 6 inch groups or 20 inch.
I don't hunt anymore. Just got the rifle for fun and inexpensive paper punching. Thanks.
