I need ODTs knowledge on Mosin Nagants 7.62X54r

If you're like me and you just can't leave anything alone...

Smith-Sights: Adjustable, high-impact sighting systems for your Mosin-Nagant!

Riflemen are often frustrated by the Mosin-Nagant's lack of fully adjustable sights. Smith-Sights is your top leader in sighting solutions for the Mosin, allowing you to regulate your Mosin's point of impact to your preference!

Errr... Why?

For that kind of money you could buy a nice Ruger American or Savage with a scope in a good hunting caliber. It will be far more accurate than a Mosin, and you don't have to deal with expensive (these days) 7.62x54R corrosive ammo.

Mosins are fun and when they were <$100 I would have said everyone should have one, along with a spam can or two of the dirt-cheap ammo.

But they were never particularly accurate, even then 'sniper' versions, and the price of both the guns and the ammo these days is ridiculous.

As mentioned above, for a collector that gun shown might make sense, but to hunt there are much better options these days.

They are pieces of ****. Absolute garbage rods.

I would get a Finnish M39 but try not to break the bank on it. I had two and just did not enjoy them.

Here's the deal. I have 1500 rounds of non corrosive 7.62x54r ammo and nothing to shoot it with. Just looking for something to sling bullets downrange. A pie plate at 100 is fine since it will just be a back up for a lot of other back ups.

The Finish M39 is far superior to the mosin Nagant. They tore down captured Mosin Nagants and put a much heavy barrel on it, creating far better accuracy. The one you want will have rounded dovetails sorta like fingers. Those are wartime productions
