can I please state that that's nearly a 4 inch group at 100 yards? not at all the sub1 groups that the finns are reported to be capable of. I get similar accuracy from my M39....and my two rusky MNs... I'm pretty much over mosin nagants at this point. I'm still keeping the ones I've got, but if I want accuracy, I'll get me a japanese or American made WWII relic, much better groups with much less coaxing in my experience.
and all due respect to TOBNPR, my 43 Izzy has a smoother action and is lighter than my M39, without much lost in the way of accuracy with factory ammo... seems my tiny sample size has the 43 Izzy in the better basket.
