No problemo.

I love all that crap strapped on his vest

[Texas Fossil]

For several years I have considered “building” a custom Ruger No. 1 with other than stock barrel for “long range” accuracy.

I love the falling block action and have no problem with single shot rifles.

Well placed, 1 shot will do the job.

[Mariner]

If you think about it, these rifles at $119 dollars, and the ammo dirt cheap, there's no good reason a man should have 1/2 dozen of them (iron sights) and 2,000 rounds of ammo.

You can EASILY get folks attention at 500yds. Or 50 yards.

[dynachrome]

I figure aimed, accurate, fire can beat “spray and pray”

[Hugin]

A bolt action beating a semi auto for accuracy isn't exactly news. Now a competition between a Moisen, an SMLE and a K98 would be interesting.

[dynachrome]

“(iron sights)”

Scoping a basic 91/30 is relatively cheap. The scope is where you want to spend a bit. Drill, tap, bent bolt and compare to a modern hunting rifle. (me, I don’t like altering ‘em, but heck, 5 million or so of the 91/30s were made)

[Texas Fossil]

yep, all of that. Plus enough powder and bullet weight and it should do the job.

The old 50 cal. (plus) Sharps were fine rifles in their day.

Modern version should be devastating.

[Mariner]

"I figure aimed, accurate, fire can beat “spray and pray”

Here's a quick summary of a great story.

When Rhodesia was in the process of becoming Zimbabwe, the existing White government was cut off from the world's arms supplies. They had an ammo shortage.

From on high came orders to shoot any man who went full auto in any combat situation.

Every soldier, each and every one, became a far more effective killer.

A standard 180 or 240 round load per man was usually far more than necessary.

These soldiers became greatly feared...not unlike a US Marine.

Everyone in the world KNOWS every US Marine is a rifleman first.

Well, everyone 'cept members of the US Army.

[dynachrome]

That would befun for sure. K98 and SMLE would be accurate out of the box,as it were, the mosin would probably need a bit of work.

[Mariner]

I wouldn’t put a scope on one of those venerable old killing machines. It’d be an insult to it’s legacy.

[OneWingedShark]

Everyone in the world KNOWS every US Marine is a rifleman first.
Well, everyone 'cept members of the US Army.

Yeah, we Army guys know they're Squid-borne Rangers. ;)

[dynachrome]

Not unless I find an ex-sniper marked one, then I might try a restoration.

“You consider it a badge of honor when you cycle 5 rounds without the aid of a 2x4.’

From personal experience: stay away from lacquered ammo!

I alway welcome a chance to post a link to the Mosin Nagant Humor Page

Things you know if you own a ...

AK: It works though you have never cleaned it. Ever.
You are able to hit the broad side of a barn from inside.
You buy cheap ammo by the case.

AR 15: You have $9 per ounce special non-detergent synthetic Teflon infused oil for cleaning.
You are able to hit the broad side of a barn from 600 meters.
You lovingly reload precision crafted rounds one by one.

Mosin Nagant: It was last cleaned in Berlin in 1945.
You can hit the farm from two counties over.
You dig your ammo out of a farmer's field in Ukraine and it works just fine.

Mosins are AWESOME!!

You can choose between a short, sexy blond with fire in her belly and beautiful jump in her step or you can go for a long, tall, dark beauty that loves to be held and caressed.

Silky smooth actions and best of all - CHEAP DATES!!
