What kind of accuracy can you expect out of a finnish mosin?

Im thinking of buying à Finnish mosin nagant but I'm curious what kind of accuracy is typical both with surplus ball ammo and new match ammo.

Re: is it worth scoping a saiga?

I don't need a tack driver as mentioned, I'm just not sure of the accuracy of a saiga 200-250 yards would probably be the farthest range I would shoot at, 4 magnification is probably all id need just something to make sure I'm on target, I should probably buy a general varmit gun for super long rang...

is it worth scoping a saiga?

I want something for varmit hunting out to about 300 yards. My mosin will do the job and I enjoy iron sights more but past 200 yards I don't trust my iron sight skills. I'm not looking for sub moa by any means I just am curious if the rifle is capable of landing a 7.62x39 round on a coyote at 300 ya...

ammo prices going down?

Last few weeks I saw 54r ans 7.62x39 go down 10-20 bucks. Anyone think this trend will continue or will they go back up?

Re: Best rust preventative?

Rem oil is pretty good. Are you in BG at WKU? Yes I am, do you also go there? I am actually from Arizona is the funny thing. I swear you could have shot a a whole tin of corrosive ammo and left it uncleaned for a year and it wouldn't rust there. I don't know if I even knew what rust is. Here though...

Best rust preventative?

I live in southern Kentucky which gets pretty darn humid at times, due to being a college student I usually shoot every 1-4 weeks, it just depends on my work schedule, seeing as a mosin nagant is a very simple bolt action I'm not terribly concerned about the best lubricant, I just want to make sure ...

Zastava M57 worth it?

Guns are making me so broke :x I bought a springfield XD9 a month ago and now a mosin nagant, however I am already looking at a Zastava M57, just for a 7.62x25 round, I do a lot of can, appliance, steel target shooting, and punching holes in stuff is fun, but do you actually enjoy the tokerev style ...

Shot my first mosin nagant 1940 Izhevsk

I bought a 1940 91/30 yesterday with 440 rounds, I went to the local gun dealer, he had a 1943 tula that looked like it had been used to club a bear to death with, so I asked if he had any others and he had just gotten one in still in box, it was it great shape, deep rifling, wood looked good except...

Re: Is bulk 7.62x54 worth stocking up on?

Looks like I'll be buying a couple crates then. I just don't want to be smacked with ammo prices

I have an old 10/22 that I am in the process of restoring. Sad thing is 22 is almost going for as much as the Russian bulk o.o

Re: Is bulk 7.62x54 worth stocking up on?

I'm a broke college student so the budget is about 400-700 if I pushed it badly. I was looking at the 600$ ak74s however I would only be able to buy one can of ammo for it at best. Which would last about 2 range trips with a 30 round mag. The fact it may soon go up makes me think buying a rifle in t...

Is bulk 7.62x54 worth stocking up on?

Basically what I'm looking for is a iron sight rifle that is just fun to put rounds through, a mosin nagamt seems to fit the bill nicely. However Ive seen how ammo prices tend to rise . And I've also seen how surpluses literally run out. Is 7.62x54r worth buying a couple crates of solely for use in ...
