first time shooting the new and improved mosin nagent

[lmao_37]

The weather improved enough today so i took my mosin to the range to zero the scope i put on it, i fired 105 rounds trying out the new and improved rifle and iam really impressed with it and the recoil butt pad is a god send no achy shoulder today. If your going to shoot a 7.62 x 54 don't buy the Bulgarian ammo in steel cases that are lacquered they were sticking inside the chamber of my rifle and when i cycled the bolt the empty case was still in the chamber and i was having to knock them out with a bore cleaning rod thank god i only brought 40 of them and not the whole 105 rounds the Russian copper washed steel cases eject first time not problems. Apart from that the rifle worked flawlessly the new scope is brilliant i really like it and can't wait to go and shoot it again, The only thing about the eastern block ammo is they have corrosive primers so once you have finished shooting you have to swab the barrel out with Windex with ammonia to neutralise the salts but at $5.50 for 20 rounds its cheap to shoot, all the targets were at 50 yards today but i am going to be shooting at longer distances soon ;D

Had one on my 30-06 bolt action and it made all the difference in the world!

Thanks guys, well you said it micro not bad for a rifle that's 79 years old  ;D i might have to try it in a bench rest to see how good a shot it is.
