[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3534591, member: 35036"] “Military sniper” accurate and 1 moa accurate are two very different things. In the military you just have to hit “that guy over there in the abdominal area” as opposed to a 1-4 inch box on a target shooting range. Also, most military surplus rifles are very, very used and abused, and in the case of the mosin, are also 80+ years old. Storage and how much abuse a rifle has gone through over those years has a ton of relevance in terms of accuracy and reliability. Also rifles being built during wartime tend to be of worse quality than rifles made during peacetime, because cost savings and speed was much more important than making nice rifles to last a lifetime.
