I'm nowhere near a good marksman and so far my Mosin (1943 91/30, Russian-made, excellent condition) is the only rifle I own, but I found it to be fairly accurate, even though I was shootin at only about 80 yds. That's been my only time so far shooting it, but i was hitting where I was aiming (Brown bear or silver bear bullets, can't remember now 'cause they're all gone, but they were the 203 grain SP) and it was hitting the berm behind my target which was about 150 yds from me at basically what the POA would've been, had my wood pallet-mounted target not been there, I was seeing big puffs of dirt pop up behind my target and the point of origin seemed to be about even with my point of aim. I'd love to find a public range longer than 100 yds where I can actually use the ladder sights and see how accurate it really is. Oh I love my rifle, the sights are simple and excellent, I hate whatever sights are on the M-16/M-4s. Plus, I've developed a bad flinch when shooting my uncle's rifles (.300 Mag and 7mm Weatherby Mag) but no such flinch with my Mosin, I'm less scared of it maybe.
