That is very impressive. The last one we were trying to dial in - if it put 10 in 6" black, it did good

henschman, in my opinion, there is some merit to your comments. This is especially true is your talking about a Mosin and many of the Mausers. Hoewever, close inspection of a K31 or a Swedish Mauser M96 will reveal mechanisms which couldn't be reproduced today for closer to $2,000 than $1,000. The tolerances are really amazing for military rifles. To top it off, they have barrels which are near competition quality. If you're used to looking at Mosin iron sights, it's like night and day compared to these two. M39 sights are a joy, as well.
I admit to being partial to some of these old rifles. But, part of the reason for this partiality is simply because they are so good. I often question myself as to why I sold all mine.
+1. Mosins are fun to shoot for fun - but 30 full power rounds into the match "fun" just goes away as shoulder pain sets in. M39 sights are easier adjustable, but not any better than 91/30 - the shallow V-notch causes vertical drift (at least for me) as the eye gets tired.However, it was a bear to shoot them with full-power loads, and the V-notch sight got to be tiresome after a while so I sold them all.
