So I took out the Mosin Nagant. I’ve had it for several years and am tired of it just exsisting for the sake of collecting. So it’s going to take some time to work with it to make it a shooter. About a year ago I took it out and saw 4″ groups at 25 yards. But I also noticed quite a few shots went wild. I’ve taken time over the last year to really scrub the barrel, and aquire 3 different brands of ammo instead of random grab bags of surplus. Today I saw noticeable improvement.
Left to right: Herters, Winchester, & Steel Surplus.
Herters:
There is a nice little group about 1″right and 2″ high.
Winchester:
Still high right group, high is to be expected because I am only at 25 yards. So this next group I also expected to be high.
Steel Surplus:
So again, 1″ right 2″-3″ high. I have a sight alignment tool and a bore sight ordered. So hopefully a little more tlc and some minor sight adjustment this should be dead center. Then I can start backing it up out to 100 yards.
Once the iron sights can hit steel plates at 100yrds I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
