So I got a Mosin 91/30 as my first rifle for an anniversary gift and I am trying to weigh my options.
Should I spend more money on ammunition practicing with the stock iron sights that come on it or should I put the money into putting a scope on it?
I want to start hunting, but I don't know anything about it and I don't know anyone who does. What kind of scope would I want to get (magnification, brand)? I don't want to spend too much on a scope as the gun was only $100 and this is my first rifle and scope. My wife does not have any problem with me getting one that is right around $100 but I think she will have a problem with a more expensive one.
I understand very little about scopes and which would be best, is there a good site that I could learn about scopes? Preferably a site that you have used or are aware of. One could spend hours on Google looking for a good site.
To help with possible suggestions, I live in Arizona and plan to hunt deer most. Maybe other game......
Thanks for the help with a newbie and his rifle.
