Mosin-Nagant Rifle - Economically, Low Cost Long Range Rifle

[w1n1]

Anyone that is into long range shooting should have heard of the Mosin-Nagant rifle. The M91/30 Mosin-Nagant with 7N1 ammo is a formidable long range rifle system. Don’t judge the cover by the looks. This rifle played a major role in history for the Russians and other countries. Not surprisingly, this weapon system was also modified for sniping during the past wars.
Youtuber TibosaurusRex demonstrates just how effective this unmodified military rifle can be in experienced shooter. This rifle is in 100% original military configuration and had NOT been equipped with any optical sights, yet it slams steel at 944 yards as easy as anything else on the shelf.

These rifles were designed to be harmonically balanced and were inspected to meet serious military manufacturing and design specifications. The Mosin Nagant rifle has served the Russian military and many other countries for over a century now. The surplus rifle market here in the United States has been flooded with these rifles, most being sold at incredibly low prices.

Many assume these rifle like this (purchased for under $100) must need modification to shoot well… but what many fail to realize is that these rifles were not designed by sporting companies for recreational activities, they were designed by teams of engineers with massive government resources for life-and-death purposes. See the rest of Mosin-Nagant rifle.

They are not incredibly low prices any more.

Mosins are great old bolt-action battle rifles, from a different era.

But they’ll still put meat on the table... and enemies in the grave .... very capably.

Love my old M44 Mosin carbine.

[golux]

I make loving my Mosin Nagant almost as making much as reading article with Russian accent.

[NFHale]

Indeed...

Prices soared during the reign of Emperor OBunghole I, in the Dark Times of 2009-2016, as folks rediscovered this old, hard-hitting, bolt-action warhorse.

7.62x54R is a good round. Been around a long time, does it’s intended job quite well.

[NFHale]

DA!!!!

Boris LOVE old Mosin!!! Like fine Wodka...or Ludmilla, with large... lungs...

I have an M44 in the version with Lancaster rifling 9.6x53. A great gun although ammo is pricy.

[mylife]

I had one made in Sestyroyetsk Russia in 1897.
Purchased for $100.
Good shooter in many wars, the Finns captured it in the winter war ans Sako made it a better shooter.

You share Luda with Golux I give you box of ammunition.

The rifle shoots better than me. I hit a pistol target at 600 yds with it. Off the ground and with nothing but a sling for support. We do Mosin shoots at 200, 300 and 600 yards.

” Very Limited supplies!!! 5x12 round boxes, of 7.62x54R Czech Surplus Hollow Core Short Range ammo for sale.. This ammo has very low recoil in the Mosin Nagant, it feels like shooing a 223. Ideal for youth shooting, or training where reduced recoil is desired, very accurate to about 200 yards. Everyone who loves shooting Mosins needs a case of this ammo in their stock. I personally guarantee you will love this ammo, it makes shooting Mosins all day fun with no shoulder pain & bruises. Velocity is around 3200 FPS at the muzzle. Loud report, huge muzzle flash, accurate to 200 yards without all the recoil. I sold this same type of ammo years ago and when it went off the market everyone who used it missed it. If any of you want to shoot this caliber with your children, wife, girlfriends, inexperience shooting friends, and want them to shoot your M/N rifles more than one time then this stuff is the best choice. Corrosive Berdan primer, magnetic projectile.”

[NFHale]

I believe I paid 85.00 bucks for mine, way back in the late ‘90s.

Fun to shoot, a bit o’ recoil to let you know you’re alive and shooting a Man’s rifle, and a satisfying BLAMMM!!! out the muzzle to make you smile.

[NFHale]

Wow, where did you find that??? That has to cost a pretty penny to feed...

[NFHale]

OI BOZHA!!!!

Translated “OHMIGOD!!!”

[NFHale]

Luda keep you warm on Cold Siberian night...

THREE boxes of ammo and bottle of Ukrainian vodka, and DEAL!!!!!!!!!

[wastoute]

There are guns you can’t find bullets to reload. Try a Swiss 7.62 Luger.
