Mosin Nagant 91/30 Range Report

[EricTheBarbarian]

I got to take my mosin nagant to the range and I thought it shot fairly well for iron sights. The only range I can go to around here that allows rifles is 25 yards. heres how it turned out with some Bulgarian 147 gr light ball. I didnt use a rest for these shots and shot from a variety of positions kneeling, standing and in the prone. The shots from the prone or kneeling were alot better than the standing off hand ones. I have to say im pleased with the $100 rifle. its a 91/30 1943 tula. The picture of the one 5 round shot group isnt the best one i got but its the only target I didnt keep shooting at. enjoy.

Wait until you get a chance to shoot it long distance...

I have 300 yards at my range and routinely hit a 10" metal gong at 300 yards (this is with an M39) with iron sights and 50 year old milsurp ammo. Not too bad IMHO.

Stock up on ammo and get it while it's still cheap.

lol, yea my apartment sometimes resembles a bombed out building in stalingrad in 1942. However, im not about to start fixing up a place i rent.

Strong work there. I need to take mine out again. Right now it hits 10 inches high at 100 yards.

I have a 91/30 that was made in 1941, and then restocked by the Finns. The Finns must have installed a taller front sight post, for it shoots right to the point of aim up to 100 yards. Horrible trigger pull, but I still love shooting it. I reload for it using Lapua brass and a Hornady 123 grain .310 jsp bullet. It opens up on critters like nobody's business!

Thats a fine pair of rifle's youve got there, the truck is not so nice.

The truck is a good match for the Barbarian's apt -- both are down to the studs. You guys have your priorities straight!
