Probably will, but I shot three deer with the iron sights. Didn't mount the scope until last week. Ranges out to 150 yards or so.

I have to get used to it. Right now I'm treating it as a somewhat fragile tool, gotta get over that. Without the scope, the M-N just smiles when it clunks against a fence post. "You cannot hurt ME, I am Rooshun!!!"

HaHa Thats funny Kismet!!!

Really nice Kis! I almost wish I had kept the wood stock after looking at yours. The ATI is very comfortable, but just doesn't have the same appeal. I had planned on sticking with the iron sights, but ...!

Nice pics as well.

im sorry, but to me a M44 without a bayonet is like non-alcoholic Scotch

nice gun anyways, refinished?

When put mine on and got it sighted in it tightened my groups up very nice. Next I will try "corking" the barrel and see if that helps like some says it does. but even now I can hit the black circle on a target at 400yrds at a 100yrds so far the best group has been just a little less than 2inchs.

A very nice looking rifle. Get rid of the bayo (store it) as it's just dead weight.

I can shoot the M39 iron sights, but not very good with the Russians. I like having a scope on my Camo M44, I haven't had the 91/30 and M38 out to the range yet.

Maybe next weekend.

Are those scope mounts that mount on the rear sight, pretty sturdy? No movement in them?

Mike82 · 05-10-2008, 09:17 AM

depends on which brand u get....the ones made by Scout Scopes(atm they only make AK/SKS mounts;but are working on a new M-N mount) are very durable and well made.

Mine is from B-square it mounts up solid just remember the lock-tite after everything is lined up.
