) 1948 dated Russian rifle. Wood is sound, matching and clean. Blueing is even, dark and beautiful. The bore sharp and shinny. The price $93 with tax. Ammo is going for less than $.09 a round for 1987 surplus and new S&B for $7.95/20. Can't wait to give it a try indoors Monday. Will have it outdoors the following Sunday, weather permitting.
. If you got that at the Summit Co show, you probably bought yours from the same dealer I did. (the price was the same) I was shooting mine today at a piece of 6" well pipe at 250 yards, and it was no problem hitting it from a bench. Get a medium slip on rubber recoil pad if your going to shoot from a bench and you want to do a hundred rounds or so. I get the best accuracy from my gun with the bayonet removed. I have friends that shoot with the bayo on but they dont get the same groups as I do with it off. I think you'll find that gun is a real joy to own. BTW, it really floors those plates.
