Went to the shooting range today. Figured I'd get to try out my mosin and I did and let the people to my left try it out. They let me try out their marlin 30-30 lever action ( idk if thats what it is called ) but it had a pretty cool scope definitely interesting, and then they let me shoot their 30-06 and that was pretty beast it felt like it kicked more even with its 1'' rubber butt pad than my steel butt M/N all around amazing day. I was surprised I was able to go through 50 of my m/n rounds without stopping. My only complaint is that shooting all of these guns inside is horrid on the ears. Wish there was an outdoor range somewhere close.
