Mosin Nagant worth buying?

[JohnP82]

Love the Mosin!!!!

The first time I fired one I knew I had to have one. I think I bought one within 2 weeks of shooting my first Mosin Nagant. Very fun gun to shoot!

I'm not much of a Mosin fan, but it's hard to complain about about a $79 rifle. I've always preferred the Enfields and Mausers myself.

buy one you cant go wrong with the nagant

Recoil? Harsh

Smooth action? Working the bolt on one is a good way to master the hammer fist and palm heel strike if you're the martial arts type.

Accurate? Not really, but good enough to hit a grown man at 50 yards, even for a rifle newcomer like me.

Durable? I haven't ran mine over with a car yet, but I bet I could and it would still come up shooting.

Stopping power? Hundreds of thousands of dead Germans can't be wrong. Bonus- the weapon is stout enough to make a wonderful hand to hand weapon if the need arises.

Price? $100 for my M44

Worth Buying? Yes. If you need short range stopping power and you're on a budget, go for it. (I say short range because mine is not particularly accurate, but it will definitely take a bad guy down within 75 yards with no trouble.)

Hey! SingleSix

I didn't say I "liked" Mosin Nagant rifles did I? Now, Enfield rifles, those I really "like"!.

I love my Garand

Ghunter said it best. It has everything you can expect in a rifle of its price and more. They may be very common, but still having a rifle from WW2 is pretty awesome still. It will not let you down if you buy it.

 

[edsinger]

Yes but you cant buy just one.....

 

[tgallmey]

of coarse . . . . . . .and buy several they wont stay that price forever

I'd prefer an Enfield, Mauser, Garand etc too but I've not seen any of them for $79!!

Man I own a few rifles, and the Mosin goes out to bang out rounds EVERY time. Its the perfect high power rifle to take out and blast for cheap. They are what they are and if you go into that knowing its not the most modable rifle you might come to be part of the Mosin following. I love both mine, and they shoot every shot every time, where I want them. Im not sure what else you can ask for from a gun.

just scope it and that solves any bull**** story you read about it shooting 8'' high. I totally can say that is not my experience. If anything the bullet drops a bit more than say a 30/06 because its heavier and slower. My 30/06 usually was shooting 150gr and its not uncommon to find 180gr on the light side with the 7.62x54 so take it for what it is they are a blast. Just remember the m44 will make you a little more tender then the 91/30
