Scoping a Nagant ?

[1lostinspace]

Lately I have been thinking of scoping it maybe different stock. Or maybe a PA micro.

How accurate are they I have the M38 model and with irons I get about a 7MOA.

Thanks guys

I know many folks will say NOOOO Blasphemy yada yada

I ran a scout mount on mine with a long eye relief scope.

It was a cheap scope and I was able to manage about 5 MOA at 100 yds if I was really trying. Im not a great shot though.

I cant recall the MFG of the mount but it was not expensive. It replaced the rear leaf sight.

Dont put a red dot on there. Just my opinion but a scope will be much better.

I have been shooting for a long time and can maintain sub moa with in the envelope of the cartridge. I am guessing 3-4 moa with scope mainly due to ammo, trigger and barrel error. I keep thinking red dot mainly because I plan to deer hunt with it. Where I hunt it would 50 yards max. Not sure what to do...

A "Nagant" is a pistol
But I'm sure your talking about a Mosin Nagant Rifle. I did this to mine. Shot just under 1 MOA with Mexican Match ammo

i put a rail on top my receiver but have yet to buy a pistol scope (long eye relief). I hear its really only good to scope a mosin like that using a pistol scope out to a 100yds. groups about half an inch if your good. anything past 100 yds is just pushing it

What exactly are you asking here?

You Sir, are not making sense.
If you can shoot a 1/2" group at 100yds, why would anything past that be "pushing it".
1/2" @ 100yds is 2" @ 400yds and 5" @ 1000yds (not counting wind). I shot mine at 500yds all the time. Shooting my Brothers Mauser with Iron sights at steel plates out to 500yds would be "pushing it" then too?

You are not getting .5" i can do that with reloads and precision rifle (5 rounds)

+1 how are going to shoot .5 MOA with 7.62x54 and be pushing it? If you are getting that and I know your not, you should be able to shoot out to about 1200 yards if you know your DOPE.

I bought one of these, you take the rear mount off, it is dovetailed so you are using the dove tail ti secure this mount. A small amount of blue thread lock works great on the keeper screws. I used a long eye relief scope. I put 50 rounds through my mosin after I installed the scope and mount. Never got loose.

Please what ever you do, do not drill and tap a M38.
They are much more rare then a 91/30 or even M44's.

Find a method that is reversible and non damaging.

Take it from an owner of a M38 that really wishes his was not tapped for the ATI rail. Wana trade? hah

See this thread about scoping a Mosin Nagant for some solutions.
