Mosin Nagant Scout Rifle

[aestus]

I bubba'd a long eye relief pistol scope onto my 91/30 rifle. If you knock out the rear sight, you'll find a hidden 3/8" dovetail rail. From there you can use a 3/8" dovetail to picatinny rails adaptor or 3/8" scope rings. Great part about using a long eye relief scope is that I can use the straight bolt and not have to pay to have a custom bent bolt installed. I can also still use stripper clips to load the gun.

Jeff Cooper is either really proud right now or rollin' in his grave.

Hows she shoot?

Interesting.

Well I'm proud of you.

I think it's goofy not to do something you want to an old military gun that is plentiful, as well as cheap. Let the "original" guys squawk. You made it a more better shooter.

Great idea,
Range report?

Will give a range report Saturday, hopefully. An 8"-10" eye relief is about perfect for a LER scope on a mosin. Be sure to get medium height scope rings. If the scope is large, you may need the high rise rings or use the 3/8" to picatinny rails adaptor and picatinny scope rings to give it extra height.

I actually have a really nice pre-war hex 91/30 made in 1932 with all matching parts and excellent rifling that I keep stock. I got this one second from Honeybee in the group buy a couple months ago with the sole intention of bubba'ing out
