Been around plenty of them. Some are good shooters and others not so much. If its an all numbers matching rifle, I'd hold on to it because any milsurp is about good as gold right now in value. Only going to go up as time passes.Anyone have any experience with 91/30? Are they good rifles? I've got one I've had for a long time that I've never shot Thinking about thinning the herd and wondering if it's worth keeping.
Did you mean .308? The .30-06 will produce a minimum of about 150 fps more velocity than the x54r at every bullet weight and closer to 250 fps in some.I see a lot of them being used in the Alaska reality shows - they were cheap, reliable and worked in temperatures below -50F, and accurate enough to take caribou, seals etc., the round is also slightly more powerful than the 30-06.

Sure, but the 7.62x54r is not as powerful as, let alone more powerful than the 06.The Mosin Nagant is widely known as the Russian .30-06
I recently sought out another one on here because i missed the ones i sold/traded off. They're a lot of fun to plink with and even more so while using stripper clips imo. I also like the screw on rubber buttpad that significantly tames the recoil even with hot surplus loads. Definitely worth keeping too if you like wwii stuff.Anyone have any experience with 91/30?

Hey, we all get a little clunky as we get older!They are clunky, like a 100 year old farm implement. On the other had, I got one that had an armory rebuild and had a TIKKA barrel with a true .308 barrel. It shot really well with reloads using quality bullets. Still felt like a farm tool that was abandoned in an old barn, but the target groupings looked pretty good.
