Pretty much any old military rifle can do that,,,
In the past I've owned:
All of them with the exception of the 7.7 Japanese,,,
Would hit a man-sized target at 400 yards,,,
I used to have good eyes.
The only reason the 7.7 wouldn't do it,,,
Was the crown was worn to an oval by bad cleaning techniques.
The Mosin was a quality built rifle,,,
But it really wasn't any better than the other common milsurps.
They sure are a lot less expensive than the others though,,,
But $109.00 in todays money is similar to $20.00 in early-60's money.
Not ragging on the folk who own and love their Mosins,,,
I just don't see why they think their performance is extraordinary.
