According to the Warren Commission, the 6.5mm Carcano M38 carbine is the fastest handling, most accurate bolt action rifle ever made, and will wipe the floor with all your Mosins and Mausers.

Great idea, if all the Mosins running scared and staying home, then put together a Mauser team #2 against team #1. X2. Good one Pete. Last edited by pro-nra; 01-01-2013 at 8:34 PM.. |

Are you guys gonna swap rifles during the match? |

In December, Pathfinder was shooting a scoped Finn match rifle in open class. ProNRA was shooting an as-issued Mauser. |

Is that one of those rare "all original" unissued SS 98k's "Dishonest Don" Mitchell found in a secret underground Nazi bunker under a Himmler's personal gas chamber in a concentration camp, or one of the even rarer sniper versions Mitchell discovered in that hidden room at the back of Eva Braun's closet in Hitler's castle in the Alps?
As rare and valuable as those rifles are - "the only known remaining ones in the world" (to steal a line from the Bible-thumping fundamentalists: "Don Mitchell said, I believe it, and that settles it!") - I'd be afraid to shoot one of those priceless historical treasures one if I owned it. Anyhow, it doesn't really matter from a practical point of view. Like I said, the M38 Carcano rules the range. If poor old Benito hadn't made the mistake of buddying up with those damn sauerkraut eating Mauser freaks, we'd all be reading and writing this discussion in Italian right now. |

It's actually rare marcus. I was able to obtain an ultra rare preproduction chrome one. Chromed inside and out! Mr. Mitchell was even gracious enough to sign the refinished stock!

Great thread. Some mosins are precisely made, some bores vary in manufacture, which I think has most to do with accuracy. They have great sights, and funky stock triggers.
I found it easy to hit 2 foot plates at 400 yards with my good ones. I didn't think my Finns were an upgrade over my best 91/30, other than the trigger, and were a lot heavier to drag around.

The sun, earth, our moon and all 66 moons of Jupiter must have lined up for me that day as that was my best performance on the turkey ever and knocked down 10 out of 11 (one was during a shoot off). Had three ringers on the ram (downfall of the 6.5x55 round). For some reason the easiest chicken ate my lunch with just 6. Oh well I had fun.
Looking forward to seeing a bunch of Mosin, SKS and AK on the line for the match on the 19th . Frank is gathering a Comm Block team against our Mauser team #1. He is also possibly putting together a Mauser team #2 as well against Mauser team #1. |

I plan on being there for the January match. I will bring a Mosin and a Swede, and I am reluctantly accepting a spot on Frank's team.
Frank, this does NOT mean you are allowed to yell at me on the firing line!! Juanito - what is the average score of the open sight Mausers? I usually get around 22 to 24 with my Mosin, my best was 26 a few months ago. I think Vern should be DQed for being a ringer. Anyone who practices twice a week between monthly matches has an unfair advantage over the rest of us who have jobs :/ |

Vern is deadly with his 03-A3. Amazing shooter Vern is. Did you know he is a right hand shooter? However, he can no longer see the front sight due to eye disease on his right shooting eye so he switch shooting left handed. Amazing feat he shoots as well as he does just like his partner Paul Woden. In his defense, he only practice ones a week along with Paul, Arnie and me. You can always quit your job and just shoot all the time. As far as average for a Swede I could not tell you as that was the first time I've shot it at a match with PMC hunting ammo (ran out of powder to reload). But to give you an idea, Paul averages between 30-35 with his M96 but only scored 32 last match and was beat by another M96 with a 34 score. Amazing shooting there. Vern did not shoot his 03-A3 that match due to broken stock and shot a Garand instead...not as accurate as his 03-A3. Pete, not sure how that heavy 156gr will group with a 1:8.66 twist. I would think with a heavy projectile you will need an even faster twist like a 1:7? I've already worked up a good load with 140 SMK or 140 Nosler CC that worked great with H4831. |

Im not sure either as that bullet has a long bearing surface but I think the original intended load for the 96 was a freakishly long round nose bullet of about 156 grains, probably made by Norma.

The new open iron will be good for the match as a lot of shooters have aperture target sights and will not shoot against scoped rifles as it would not be fair.
It's a hit a miss. Some days we all do well and some days we could not hit the side of a barn. On match I did so bad only got an 18 but it was good for 2nd in the AA as everone else had the same bad day. I will put a bug on Tom's ear that he should run three relays as he had to turn down couple of shooters last month. In addition, I would like to shoot in the as issued and open iron with one of my Swedish CG-63 target rifles. I think we have to be over 30s to win anything on the iron as there are a lot of good shooters out there with aperture just waiting. Here is what I will shoot for the open iron (the one without the handguard). |

I shoot both -
And prefer the 91/30's and FR8's. I'm assuming it's not so much that "Mosin boys are hiding" - As "Mosin boys don't really give a crap..." Carry on...

Mosins are just good rifle overall for the price and decent shot. I personally like it, the huge round splits boulders with ease and makes up a good scout type rifle that is also not too bad for hunting. The look is not one of the best, but it works and been working since 1943.
By the way, if there are so many threads about mosins and this single one got three pages already, then mosin still got it. Hate it or love it, it will still be around. |

I have ONE confirmed Moison shooter Flyinbrian.
This is sad, the Mauser buys have intimidated the Moison owners/shooters and they have failed the motherland. Stalin knew how to handle the traitors and slackers. Come on guys, stand up and be counted, get out of the trenches, get out of the rubble, and the sewers, and defend mother Russia with me. |

being that i just like to go to the range and shoot bowling pins. the price of ammo is important to me. the mosin is so much bang for the buck. i will never be a precision marksman and am not interest in trying. i love shooting my mosin M 44 and PU sniper so much i sold all my other mosins including a spectacular like new 1929 ex dragoon TULA. it was too pretty to shoot. i also sold my only Mauser. the ammo cost twice as much and i just did not think it was better than my Mosins for what i do.
if you are on the fence about getting a Mosin just get one. forget the haters. in the last 8 months i have bought maybe 8-10 mosins. after cleaning them up i go to the range and fire them. i have put maybe 500 rounds threw them . not 1 dud .18c bullet. no jams or fail to eject. at 18c a round i never seem to find the time to shoot my very nice savage bolt 22lr. yes 22lr cost less but is not as much fun as 18c 7.62-54r. ask the mosin haters which gun is less expensive to shoot. the best price i ever got on Mauser 8 mm was around 48c a round. get a on sale MN and a couple of spam cans of ammo and you can shoot a long time on the cheap. |

NOTABIKER, please help out Frank below as he is hurting for Mosin shooters. Seems like they are a "shy" bunch and don't want to show off their sub MOA rifles? This would be a perfect opportunity to "shine" over the Mausers once and for all we can put this baby to bed.

You mean the Mauser team #1 with most shooters in their late 60s and early 70s have intimidated the younger Mosin crowd? Maybe it’s all the gray hair and the bifocals that are intimidating and not the Mauser rifle. If the Mosin shooters stay home and don’t want to get counted, I guess you can come up with Mauser team #2 to compete against #1 team? |

I would come shoot but it is about 4 hours away over a snowy 7000 foot mountain. I could go either way, I like both Mosins and Mausers. |

Com on Reno is just 150 miles from Sac Valley you. Come down the mountain and and help out Frank and be counted. I drive to Boomtown just to eat the lobster buffet and drive back. Quote:
Well so far sounds like the Mosin aficionados are a shy bunch? Only one takers Flyin Brian (a Mauser traitor). Lots of post about Mosin on this thread yet no commitment from these individuals? |

What is your excuse for not coming to the match on the 19th? Maybe if you show up we can have a side bet to make it worth your valuable time? You can easily beat me individually as I'm not a good shot plus I could not see that well so this will be a slam dunk for you. However, I am confident that my Mauser team #1 will give the Mosin team a run for their money. Although Josh has not met me or even know who I am, it was Josh who "promised" he will outshoot me...his words not mine. If Josh will accept my challenge and shoot the match on the 19th and he wins the match, then he needs to invite me wherever his next match is and I'll go with the same arrangement as my challenge. Tell him to put his money where his mouth is. Come on Mosin, SKS and AK shooters contact Frank to make a team. This will be loads of fun. |
