Fellow Mosin-Nagant shooters

I dont recomend going to the synthetic replacement stock I see offered at various places. I tried it on an M44 and it made the felt recoil far worse even with the rubber pad. '

I would assume its due to the synthetic being lighter than the original wood. Lots of push ups seem to help with the recoil more than any brake or recoil pad can.
 
Do you two seem to shoot better after a couple

Now you know that we are NOT supposed to mix booze and guns:eek:

It might stop me from shaken at times but I'm not brave enough to try. Bad business boozen and shootin together
 
I get a better bang for the buck with 2oz of Makers Mark Bourbon than with 12oz Bud, or Miller or your choice of poison

Sorry,always thought of only 12 oz curls. Actually, my choice for slow, deliberate 2oz exercise is Booker's!
But always in the evening, after a day at the range, or in the field!
 
Here is the Mosin-Nagant with the bi-pod and scope mounted.
I second the Booker's just a little to pricey being in between jobs

I don't know about the "soft squishy" ones, but I bought one off Ebay that is a chinese replacement for the metal plate. I haven't installed it yet, but it seems a little firmer than I expected. Still, it has to be better than metal... doesn't it? :confused:

Either way, I'm about to mount a scout scope on mine, along with the firm rubber pad, and see what I can do.

Film at 11:00.... :D
 
I don't understand why everyone's "default" association with the desire for a brake stems from wanting to avoid the "punishment" of recoil...

I send 100 rounds of handloads with my MN every time at the range, and am not bothered at all by the recoil.

What does bother me, is that when shooting groups at 220 yards with a high-power optic, the rifle jumps so far off target that I need to back down the scope's power, re-acquire the target, then zoom back in for the shot.

If I can keep the rifle from bouncing so far off target, it will make for much easier and faster follow up shots. Got nothing to do with the shoulder...
