The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Photos should speak for themselves. Had a great time sighting in this 1937 Izhevsk M91/30 with LVE (Novosibirsk) 148gr ammo. It shot this new ammo really well, but I can't shoot this stuff all the time at 50 cents a round. Good news is that it shoots just about like the 70's and 80's surplus; maybe just a little more accurate and clean burning.

Great shooting!!!

You got a nice shooter there. I think you dispel the myth of Mosin inaccuracy. Great shooting!

You done all right with that shooter, that target is dead!

Excellent shooting at 200yds !!! I can't see the target at 100. Well done..

That is 1 dead target, good shooting!

Yeah you did do good. I wish I had a place like that to shoot. I have all this surplus ammo and no place to shoot it. My only local range is still closed after the owner died. The owners son was a mean piece of crap when his dad was alive. If it opens back up it might not be worth going to.

Russell, I thought you lived in TEXAS??? Doesn't everybody have a place to shoot in Texas? I envisioned huge gun clubs and public ranges with long range rifle shooting and stuff we've never dreamed of here. Guess I was wrong.

Yeah, I went overboard on the surplus when I first started collecting these rifles. Now I have too much, so I plan to do what I can to cut down on ammo inventory. In this post you can count ten rounds that I put on the steel, which were my only shots at that range. What I didn't show is the 35 rounds and two bore cleanings I spent before these shots at distances of 50, 75 and 100 yards on the paper. That helped me tweak this front sight and get the thing dead on for windage at those ranges (moving iron sights is a lot of trial and error repeated by same, but thanks Elby sight tools for the help). Luckily for me, the front post on this sight is just right, so it shot pretty much to exact point of aim at 200 yards with the sight set on 200 meters elevation.

very good shooting indeed!

I don't competely understand the whole no fmj rule that most every range seems to adopt around here. Even at the big well known Dallas range, Elm Fork, they have rules for the rifle range that are rediculous. No fmj, and no iron sights! Elitist is what comes to my mind. I can shoot fmj at the indoor range if a magnet doesn't stick to the bullet? Good grief. All of the land is private, and posted.
