The powerful, fun, Mosin Nagant 91/30

[HOLLAND BOY]

Thought I'd share this with you guys! Nowadays, it seems shooting has taken on a much more "serious" side with me. I have plenty of ammo but I'm scared to shoot it most of the time. At any rate, went to day and fired up the Russian Boomsticks! Thought I'd post a picture or two of the power of the Czech 148 grain silver tip versus a thigh thick Sweet gum tree....Pictures will do the talking. 50 yard 5 shot group free standing with iron sights! NICE!

Top pic is the exit holes. Bottom pics are the entrance!!

Holy smokes that's some damage. If I ever run across another one at a good deal I may have to jump on it.

I wasn't impressed until you said they were exit holes! In and through, cool.

 

[HOLLAND BOY]

Yes, I was very surprised....Sap is rising at this time of the year and the tress are pretty "dense". The pictures don't really show the actual diameter of the tree either..Powerful cartridge to say the least!

I wouldn't have guessed they would have made it through either. That tree now needs a hug! Call Al Gore.

I love firing mine, but the neighbors don't, just need a longer range, the 100m doesn't do justice
