It's because we start out semi-broke and end up broke. If we were welathy... different story.

I have got to budget (yeah, right!).

The truly scary thing, Geo, is that it makes sense.

HAHA, yup I have been converted. I have wanted a bolt action rifle for a while and want some cheap optics on it as well. Digging through this forum I keep seeing all these pics and people talking about Mosins. It definitely peaked my interest, so I started reading into them and posted this thread.

I like to buy at gun shows so I can avoid paying taxes, shipping costs, handle the fire arm beforehand, and do a quick and dirty cash and grab transaction.

A man after his first Mosin. Almost brings tears to my eyes!

Mine too. Shhhh do you think we should tell him about Mosinitis? He knows he has to have a sense of humor to hang around here right?

SwedeSteve · 05-03-2008, 02:17 PM

A sense of humor is mandatory if you're gonna survive here tlarkin! Also you have to acknowledge that I have the best Mosins!

Geo M44 · 05-03-2008, 03:38 PM

We usually talk behind steves back... It make him feel better.

Mosin Shooter · 05-03-2008, 04:23 PM

If you lucky larkin, you'll find an absolute tack driver, like my 91/30, took it to the range yeasterday, my best result, 500 yards, 2in group!!!!!

Heres what I was using and got these results:
Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 BDC reticle
M91/30 1939 Tula

Weather:
Cloudless, 22% humidity, calm winds

this was from the bench with a bipod.

That last part starts out this is no sh-t..In your dreams swede we all know billy has the best ones

texnmidwest · 05-03-2008, 04:40 PM

2" 500 yard group is one heck of a good group!! Congrats! That takes a lot more than an accurate rifle to do that there Mosin! A LOT of target rifles can't do that well.

Mosin Shooter · 05-03-2008, 06:34 PM

thanks tex, had a thousand yard range there too, so i tryed my luck again.......

, whyed i even bother, threw a long high group, but thats what i get from a best estimate shot from a scope compensated out to 500 yards.

SwedeSteve · 05-03-2008, 07:37 PM

billy only pretends to have Mosins! The are all Enfields. He said so! Besides Geo and Cap'n already admitted mine were the best! Na Na Na Na!

texnmidwest · 05-03-2008, 07:41 PM

The Dickens you say!!! Mine are better than yours you, you, you, well you just are.

tonystewartfan · 05-03-2008, 07:45 PM

SwedeSteve · 05-03-2008, 07:57 PM

Mosin Shooter · 05-03-2008, 08:26 PM

ah shut up steve, i dont see your Mosins putting up 2" groups at 500 yards

nice bubbafied Mosin tonystewartfan.....I like Jeff Gorbon better.

Geo M44 · 05-03-2008, 08:35 PM

What? No scope? As long as you're gonna modify a 91/30 you might as well go all the way. Didn't I see those for sale at IO?

It's still an MN, and I hope it shoots as good as it looks.

Thanks for the pic.

Capt'n Mil Coll · 05-03-2008, 10:11 PM

OK Steve turn around so I can talk behind your back. I actually have the best 2 Mosins. So dont listen to Steve He's been eating too much lutefisk I think.
