If theres any question about my shot, then I dont.
I do hunt all year long and as my main 'occupation' as a subsistance Hunter, and I do so with the same Rifle and ammunition, the very accurate and consistant Czeck made 7.62X54R.
10 years ago I lost my .243 "Death ray" M-700ADL that I fit the stock to myself and used only 100grain coreloks to the greatest effect.
Heres a double headshot, 400 meters, when I waited for the Bear to slow and have a look, like most all animals do. Its wide wide open, and distance often makes an animal unpersued think its safe enough to slow, stop or look. Caribou are 100% on that , and many a Wolf as well.
I utilize the Hides, furs and meats, so most of my shots are head and neack shots.
When my boys are shooting at Seals,Walrus,Beluga, the head is the only target available.
As a kid I shot my .22 while other kids had Nintendo, then a bit of Biathalon, then life in general kept me shooting.
Im a well practised shot. I belive in follow up shots too, if I think there is a need. Ive won contestes too, But Im a Man among Men, and theres better shots around than I.
I dont take questionable to me shots, because I know the opportunity for another is just a matter of repositioning or carrying on the already "On" Hunt at hand.
Thats enough about me, this thread is about the Awsomeness of the Mosin system
If you like the vids, look up my older stuffs, theres plenty of Mosin shooting vids, and I am in the Arctic, with a Mosin and as the guy who astrted this thread noted, it IS the BEST Rifle here
I use an M-39 and Ill wear it out someday and replace it with a fresh on off the rack
I really want to go shoot Hogs someday and litterally "Take Home the Bacon!!" Mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!
