I picked up one of that same BSA Red dot scope that you have. Academy Sports had it for $39.99. The first time I went to the range after I got it mounted on the Mosin-Nagant, the weather was lousy. I only got about 15 rounds in before the rain deluge hit. The last group was pretty decent.
Was only 50 yards, but I didn't want to slog any further out in the mud!

Not bad. What kind of ammo were you using?
It would be interesting to see if a heavy bullet would tighten it up (my experience has been that the heavier bullets are more consistent at 100 yards 182gr “Yellow Tip”).
