Hunting with a Mosin - Page 2

Man, that is an absolutely gorgeous stock... even matches the game he took!

SwedeSteve · 04-02-2008, 02:15 PM

Yep, I love that stock as well!

WW2Junkie · 04-02-2008, 02:32 PM

I hunt whitetails (4 legged type) with my M44, 91/30 and my Enfield No.4
Using the right kind of ammo, I would hunt anything in North America, including Elk and even Grizzly. They will do the job as long as you do your part! I have heard others talk about having a quick follow-up so they like semi-autos. BULL! If you do your part right, you don't need a follow-up. If you go with that idea then you probably shouldn't have taken the shot.

Geo M44 · 04-02-2008, 02:47 PM

I'm no expert on M39's but my Valmet has a straight bolt and swivel sling mounts versus the stock slots.

Anyway, very nice, and I have no doubt that the M39 could easily do the job. I'll have mine in photogenic and firing condition this weekend...

Damn! Now I want another M39, but I've got that Tula M44 comming, and an ammo run on Saturday... I need mo money!!!

SwedeSteve · 04-02-2008, 04:08 PM

I was looking at that as well Geo. Hmmmmmm?? Maybe a M27 or M28? Or maybe even a M28/30!!!!!!!!!! Pant-Pant!!!!!

Just too many varients and not enough money.

Well tonight is Powerball, and hope springs eternal...

Uh.. three whitetail deer this year with Mosin M44.

Got a Leupold EER 2x and an eBay mount. Still haven't put it on.

Dunno, rifle will go from a take-it-anywhere, do-anything-to-it gun, to a watch-out-for-the-expensive optics, is-there-rain/mist/fog-on-the-lens gun.

Even with the new eye glasses, I don't have the vision for shots over 200 yards. The sight just obscures the target. I'm very hesitant for shots over 125 yards or so.

Dunno.

SwedeSteve · 04-02-2008, 05:23 PM

OK Marion, I need to know which Model that is!

toolman · 04-02-2008, 06:35 PM

My Mosin's have taken whitetails, rabbits, racoons, and several hogs.

texnmidwest · 04-02-2008, 07:27 PM

I can't wait to hunt with my Mosin.

He hit an antilope at almost 500 yards with open tangent sights?! That is one hell of a shot!! Just goes to show you what open sights can do in the hands of someone who knows how to use them! And has good eyes.

SwedeSteve · 04-03-2008, 07:52 AM

That puppy is on my GOTTA HAVE list. Along wth a M38 and a M91/59. She'll be the last Mosin I buy, and I can die happy.

Yes he has a stock duplicator.. here are a couple of pics of his trophy room

Truely seems to be a guy you would want to know... and represents what's quickly dying in this country. I used to love to hunt, fish, and live for moderate periods of time in the wilderness (mainly the Ventana and Eastern Sierras). I had survival skills.

But over time I got city-fied and almost politically correct, and by the time I woke up it was 30 years later, and here I be... gettin back in the saddle.

It's a pretty good bet that he will never go hungry.
