Diamond in the rough - Continuation War Mosin Nagant

[MoBoost]

Picked up this rifle on here a couple of years ago.

Finn capture Russian 91/30
1942 Dated Izhevsk barrel
Finn staggered front sight
Counterbored
SA stamp on the barrel
War-time potbelly Finn stock with fin cleaning rod

1942 date makes it a "capture" (not purchase) and part of Continuation War.

25.0 5744
Virgin Lapua Brass
174 SMK .311

Iron sights, 100 yards, benchrest.

I haven't seen many Russian barrels shoot like that - and I've NEVER seen counterbored one shoot anywhere close! Finns must've put some pixie dust on it

Contact Ron Doggett at the OKC gun club under benchrest/military bolt section and ask to be placed on one of the two relays we have.

I have won the OKCGC winter war with it today - 298-12x, had a couple of high (very high, barely touching 9 ring) flyers - but shot outstanding.
Very happy.
