So i got this new Mosin Nagant 91/30 (thanks Cocktailer!) and took it out to the range. When i bought it, i chose the rifle with the best looking bore, and it is a beaut.
To compare, i also brought out my Mosin Nagant M39, which i consider my best shooting gun. I tested out three different ammo, since Mosins are known to prefer some and not others.
I started out with 5 shots at 100 yards with Bulgarian light. Three shots are in an inch.
Then i tried out some Bulgarian heavy. I don't think the gun likes this at all!
So now it's some Czech light. Holy smokes! 4 shots are in 1 3/8 inch and all 5 shots are in a 2 inch group. That is the best group i have ever shot.
Compare this to the M39's best today with some Bulgarian heavy. 4 rounds in an inch and a half and 5 shots in 2 1/4 inches, which is par for the M39.
So far, the 91/30 is beating out my M39! Well, these guns were meant for distance, so it's time to leave the kid's range and head out to the where i can do some real shooting.
I shot 20 rounds with both the 91/30 and the M39 at 300 yards. Here are the results; a close match and the M39 scored 108 and the 91/30 scored 100. That's really close and i have myself one awesome gun!
Here's the 91/30:
And here's the M39:
