AGT,
I don't know what it'll take to get your adolescent attacks out of this thread, but I'll repeat what I've said before.
My worst Mosin barrel has put 3 shots under an inch with surplus ammo at 100 yards with iron sights.
This was during a shooting test session that also involved an expensive FN precision .308, with good glass, and the Mosin outshot that FN.
That Mosin's group was also markedly tighter than the best I was able to get from an FBI designated sniper package costing several thousand dollars.
That Mosin, sitting in a plain Boyds stock, with Josh's front sight installed & no other modifications, shocked the hell out of me, but it did what I said it did.
My sniper Mosin can't beat it, but that sniper can pull off 2-inch groups on a good day, with commercial ammo.
I also have a sporterised Mosin in a pillar-bedded Boyds stock, with Rock Solid scope mount & extended bolt handle, under a medium-grade Leupold scope, with a mildly tweaked military trigger & a cutback 22-inch original barrel that can do 2 inches & under if the wind blows right.
And in the past I've shot standard military configuration Mosins at 2 inches & under.
Each one is its own deal, and while many are in sad shape, it's quite possible to find a good shooter.
Can you just take a long walk off a short pier & leave the rest of us to discuss this rifle without your incessant trolling?
If you can't stand the Mosin, stay out of this thread.
If you can't control your urge to knock the rifle & deride those who shoot it, go away.
How many times do you need to be told flat out that you contribute nothing to the subject under discussion & your presence is not enjoyed?
