91/30 & M38 Range report

[cryoguy]

Well I took my Mosin 91/30 and Mosin M38 to the range today and this was the result. I was firing iron sights with 147 Gr Lead core Bugarian milsurp ammo at 100 yds.

The first one up is the M38. She was shooting a little low so I set the rear site to 200 yds and I got it cetered but threw 2 of them to the right. I am sure they were my fault.... I probably jerked the trigger.




Here are the shots from the 91/30. She was dead on. Now I cant wait to get out hunting with her...

Much better than I did with my M38.

My 91/30 at 100...couldn't barely shoot, 3 out of 15 on paper...not even what I would call a grouping. I couldn't use the sights, I shoot much better with other guns, gotta learn this gun a little better.

Today was awesome. I was able to hit alot of stuff like tennis balls at about 40 yds or so. I put all kinds of holes in it. It was a good day at the range.

Nice shooting.

How do you like the 91/30 over the Carbine?

[classicist]

Wow, that's some good shooting with the 91/30. I can barely group that well with mine at 50 yds.

[Beetle Bailey]

Very nice shooting! How about some pics of the rifles?

[reidnez]

Wow, that is pretty impressive accuracy on the 91/30. You lucked out!

How do you like the 91/30 over the Carbine?

The 91/30 is smoother and has less of a kick, and it is better balanced with a nice trigger.

The 38 has more of a kick and has a different sight picture that I'm not used to. I can probably get the groups smaller with more practice.

Here is the M38




And here is the 91/30. But I have removed the bipod and scout scope.

[nemisis1400]

what's wrong with the scout scope did it not hold zero, or you just prefer iron sights?

And where did you get the bipod and the mount, I kinda want one for my m38

[0321jarhead]

Very, I mean VERY good shooting. What were you feeding that rifle?

No, I couldnt get it to hold. I might try one more time and do something different. And with the bi-pod, was going to sell it on here. Are you interested? I will take 20 for it shipped. I paid 35 for it a couple of months ago. Pm me if you are.

And I was shooting Bulgarian milsurp. 147gr LPS Steel Core. I just looked them up on 7.62x54R.net I got it wrong in my other post.

Thats a cool range report. My m91/30 shoots all over the place. Its been re-bored, is pitted, and needs sight adjustment (i'll hammer it out sometime or buy one of those fancy adjustment tools).

[cryoguy]

I hope to take them back out soon. I want to take the 91/30 hunting but I want a little bit more experience with it.
