Thats a very nice rifle you have there jla. I think with it being unissued for 330 you cant beat it. I have to say after i have been working on reloading and changing to the huber trigger i am definatley impressed with the mosin now. Its a great rifle and i look forward to finally deer hunting with it. I think it would be quite fun deer hunting with a wwii rifle. Again rifle looks beautiful.

Thanks Z. I will use this one to hunt with from time to time as well. Its a pretty comfortable rig to carry, a little heavy at 9.9 pounds but it slings up well and the weight is evenly distributed. It carries well and isnt uncomfortable on a good half mile walk. I carry african safari style when I go hunting and this thing flips right up into action quickly and easily.

My Finn M39

What she did at 50 yards (First time I fired it to see how she grouped)

Yep, that's 5 rounds of the dreaded Czech Silvertip Light Ball.

Reason I mention em, for some reason, the accuracy in M39's is great inside 100yrds. This is what they look like if you run across some:

These are amazing! where do I get some of these?

You lucky dog JLA! That M39 looks like it's in great condition
