Mosin Nagant

Bob Sanders · Dec 6, 2013

I'm thinking of picking one up for some relatively inexpensive fun. Worth it, or a money pit?

you get what you pay for I have one had fun with it, I only shot it out to 100 yds I felt like my rifle shot really well. The action was not real smooth and on one brand of ammo it was hard to work the bolt. Rifle was cheap ammo was cheap no regrets then.
I was not reloading then if I wanted to play around (family and friends over) now that I am reloading I would load up some 30/30 rds with trail boss for some fun low recoiling rounds or shoot AKs and ARs.

Totally worth it. Everyone should have a Nagant. Plus, you get a free bayonet with every purchase! Five years ago I had a M44 that seemed great, but I wasn't proficient at shooting at the time so it's impossible to say how accurate it was. I have a 91/30 now, but haven't tried to wring any "precision" out of it yet. Once I finally get in on the Military Bolt action matches that should change. Only group I've shot was 5" at 100 yards, using the iron sights.

They are awesome once you get a nice Nightforce 0-20x on the top!!

Wow, midway has the decimal place wrong on all those nightforce scopes!

Not sure if they offer enough eye relief.

Sorry gents, I forgot to use sarcasm font.

I need to have that feature enabled at all times....

Me too. Not available for iPad, I guess. Or is it in Tapatalk?

You need one. I think every gun nut needs one. I think they're still around $120 and a 880 round crate of ammo is around $160. Surplus ammo is corrosive so be sure to clean very well after you shoot the surplus stuff.

I just picked up 2 91/30's. One for me and one for my Dad. Plus 880 rounds of surplus Russian ammo. You really cant beat the price to just go out and have some fun. Around $400 for everything. When I find the time, I wanna break mine down and shine it up a little.

Cant wait to drag the old man out to shoot!
