Mosin’s and especially 7.52x54r still have a place on today’s battle field. I know you’ve never been anywhere near a gunfight, but ask anyone who has been shot at by a PKM, Drag or Mosin.
Yep. A scoped Mosin and a good shooter are a formidable threat to a soldier near a Russian formation. If he can see you, he can hit you....with a powerful round that can penetrate considerable cover. This isn’t what the reporter thinks it is.
