I've been out twice with my Special Grade M1 and Mosin M44. I'm getting pretty bad groups, even with commercial ammo. I usually shoot scoped rifles, so I'm not sure if it's the rifles or my poor skill with iron sights. It wouldn't surprise me if the Mosin is inherently inaccurate, but I would expect the M1 to shoot accurately.

 

So, if any sharpshooters are planning to be at CR any time soon, could I meet you there and have you shoot the rifles? At least that will take my questionable skills out of the equation, and maybe I can learn a thing or two.

    Try shooting off a bag, or prone off a mat. I often find shooting benches to be wobbly and contribute to poor accuracy. A sling helps a lot too. I just have mine set up as a hasty sling. I don't use the formal setup.

    I live minutes from CR and I'm a tramp there.

     

    Give me a shout and I'll give you a hand squaring it away.

    Thanks, Old School. I just ordered some Herter's 7.62x54, which I'd like to try in the M44. I'll let you know when it comes in so we can go shooting together.

    I'm going to head out tomorrow afternoon with the toys. If anyone wants to meet up, shoot me a PM.
