Mosin Nagant 800 Yards with Iron Sights

Looked like a really nice Nagant. What was done to it for that kind of accuracy? I've thought about picking up a cheap one, don't think I'd ever be shooting at 800 yards.
 
If you're picky about what you want and are willing to pass on a bunch till you find one that meets your approval, there are good ones out there. Mine is a sub-MOA rifle with my loads. BUT, unlike Grizz's spectacular shooting with irons, I've got a 4x scope on mine.
 
Thanks guys! The mods I have done to help it get a little more accurate was bed the action and the front of the barrel near the front barrel band, did a little trigger work so it breaks clean at 2 lbs, and a tapered front sight post. Together these mods really helped out. previously before the bedding I used some electrical tape on the front of the barrel to use as bedding and that worked really well.
 
I just bought my first Nagant, a 1942. I plan on doing my best grizzdude impressions next week. Not that I could do anything similar to that kind of shooting. Great work
 
Thanks guys!

Please update us on how your grizzdude impressions go!lol

The main camera is a panasonic hv-100, I find it works pretty good for what it cost me ($100). The target cam is some off brand that I got on ebay for $10 because the lcd screen is broken, works great for a target cam and I'm not out much if I shoot it on accident.
 
as mosins were a top sniper rifle i wouldn't put it past them to hit this or further.

as someone in a local mosin group, i tend to find that most inaccuracy comes from the shooters being fairly new, and their mosin is their first full power rifle. Also a bunch try to flinch or predict the guns recoil, which also leads to loss of accuracy. there are plenty of guys here on the forums, i know hit very good groups on theirs and i love seeing it. keep up the good work.

got any recommendations for a 800 target setup? im trying to range find a good setup, but my targets go up a hill, rather than down hill
 
Thanks Duzell, as for a target, if you can afford it I'd go with a 1/4" or 3/8" AR500 for 800 yards. Some times I lug this 80lb target up hills and creeks and it is no fun getting this thing to where I need it, most the time I can't just drive right up to it. I bet those AR500 targets will be less weight and still take the impacts without denting.
