MOSIN AMMOand SCOPE

[socomIInato]

Yugo surplus IS STILL CORROSIVE. But excellent ammo nontheless. But there's no reason to fear corrosive ammo. Simply clean the bore throughly after shooting then apply a light coat of oil afterward (spray WD-40 down the bore for example). Hasn't failed me yet...

As far as scope set ups- it sounds like you're after a 'scout scope' set-up. Which is good- if you permanently modified a POLISH M44- you would make many people angry...and cry...

The best one I could recomend would be a Darrell's scout mount. Info found here:

Also you cant hunt big game such as deer, pig, elk, and bear with a mosin due to it firing a rimmed cartridge. Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for.

wait, what? Sportsman supply sold me a box of lead free 7.62x54r and told me it was perfectly fine for pig and deer...

not sure about the rimmed cartridge part, i thought it just had to be a soft point/hollowpoint as to kill the animal quickly, and not have it wounded and slow die.

+1. Rimmed cartridges are fine, otherwise the 30-30 would be illegal. It's the bullet used.

I think you are confusing "Rimmed" with "Rimfire"

As was mentioned, rimmed ammo is fine for hunting, but rimfire normally isn't.
