Well. I took the old Finn hunting yesterday..

..and she did awesome! Placed a perfect shot on a little buck. :right:
The shot wasn't but about 75 yards away, but non the less I was happy with this old M-39.
I used the Winchester soft point 180gr. Bad thing was the bullet somehow seperated after it exploded the heart, and ended up clipping the intesting. Needless to say, some of the meat got nasty. because of this little seperation.
Sorry I didn't mean to get to grusum there.
I plan on taking it again today.
The $80 rifle really proved it's self.

nice going there myarmor, i get one someday.

by the way incase you don't know, Winchester doesn't make the rimmed Russian, Sellior & Belliot makes it for them. maybe do a google to see if others have a problem with bullets coming apart.
