Just bought a new rifle. A mosin nagant m44 7.62x54r. $100 at gander mountain. Shoots 3 in groups @100 yrds just a little low and left. Not bad for a 60yr old rifle that was mass produced in sweat shops behind the iron curtain.


Here is the 7.62x54r compared to a win 30-30.

Here it is laying next to a Marlin model 336 30-30 with bayonet open.
