Lublin 3 Posted August 7, 2009 awesome. Dan (djg0770) raced up to Cherry Ridge right after work to give our Mosins a run. He brought his M44 and I brought two 91/30's that I've never shot before and my trusty M4. His M44 was dead on and my groupings were good but I need to drift the sights a tad for them to be on. We had a great time and left with very sore shoulders. I shot some video with my camera and snagged these bad a$$ stills. All stills are of Dan's M44. Check them out: P.S. Thanks for hanging out, Dan! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djg0770 481 Posted August 7, 2009 Mosins are so... -punishing -flashy -fun -cheap -simple -accurate (at least at 50 yds) Thanks for coming out Rich! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lublin 3 Posted August 7, 2009 -accurate (at least at 50 yds) They'll do 100. We just need more trigger time and stronger shoulders. 8-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenw 293 Posted August 7, 2009 What size is yours? SMALL Sorry. Looks like you guys had fun. I'm still not ready for the jump into rifles, but I know a good time when I see one. K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lublin 3 Posted August 7, 2009 Sorry. K I'm still not ready for the jump into rifles, but I know a good time when I see one. K I'm the exact opposite. I enjoy rifles infinitely more than pistols. I'm still wondering why I even purchased a pistol. :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greydaddy 2 Posted August 7, 2009 What's the caliber? I still haven't shot my 8mm Mauser. Or a half dozen others that I have, for that matter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wsl 2 Posted August 7, 2009 Mosin's are 7.62x54r so just a tad larger than 308 in power. They are extremely accurate. And yes, the ghetto gauze recoil pad was nuts. It did work though lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted August 7, 2009 What's the caliber? I still haven't shot my 8mm Mauser. Or a half dozen others that I have, for that matter. Haven't shot mine neither, a trip to Pennsy is much needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chad 3 Posted August 7, 2009 I'm the exact opposite. I enjoy rifles infinitely more than pistols. I'm still wondering why I even purchased a pistol Same here...I'm much more into rifles than pistols. I get bored from pistols in about 10 mins....rifles I can shoot all day, even if its just plinking with a .22 at cans / fruit / etc. I never get tired of that.

Agreed, I'll take a rifle over a pistol any day, for most any situation. As for Mosins, the more pictures/info I see, the more I consider adding one...
