Which bolt-action rife is the best?

[ghyslyn]

from experience I've had alot of fun with a mosin-nagant, it looks great, feels great and is just overall pleasing to own.

search into it for more details as there are many different variations

- Plus, the Mosin-Nagant fires 7.62mm X 54 Russian, an old cartridge (1891 - two years younger than .303 British) that is probably the worlds most popular machine gun cartridge today.  Conclusion: MilSurp ball amunition will be around for a while yet. Most beautiful finish I have ever seen on a MilSurp rifle was on an 7.62 X 54 M44 Carbine made at Factory 11 in Poland in 1944.  Blonde stocked, and a blueing you could shave in.

Yeah it looks like a solid rifle and it must be easy to use ,the Russians had no problem with it. ;D

One more question. Can you mount a scope on a rifle like the Mosin-Nagant?

Actually, depending on where you are the 7.62 x 54mm is starting to dry up - I used to get the 15 round brown paper packets of Hungarian MG ball all the time, but I haven't seen it in a couple years except at gun shows. Course, Winnipeg sucks for gun shops.

I do enjoy the variations of Mosin-Nagant, as I said I'm a collector and one of my main focuses is on Finnish Mosins. I have a Russian M91/30, a Romanian-issued Polish M44, an Finn M/91, M/24, M/27 and M/39. I'll post pictures later.

As far as mounting a scope on a Mosin, you can, provided you have one of the later round receiver models, it doesn't work too well with the hexagonal receivers on M91s and early M91/30s. I don't have any personal experience, because I like them original, but from what I hear your best bet is probably a no-gunsmithing mount that replaces the rear sight leaf, or a reproduction of a PU sniper mount.

I will haveto call the local gun shop down the road and ask if they carry the 7.62. What does the x54 mean?

A.a,

You got the link to CanadianGunNutz, use it. I know your interested, and that's good, but if you go there and read a lot, I'll bet every question you have will already have been answered.

You won't have to wait. Try it.

Ok ok I'm going.
