Yes, there are pictures of me all over the place, including the two you speak of.

either your sks, the ammo, or the shooter suck. A good sks, with scope and good ammo, is sub 2" at 100 yds, and many a Mosin can't even TOUCH that performance, especially not with ball ammo and iron sights. So much for it being a better "sniper" rifle. Many a scoped, 10-11" barreled CAR-15 will "reach" further, accurately, than will the typical Mosin, for a fact.

What the Mosin fans all have in common is being too cheap to be much good at shooting.

That's the one! Started using that one a long time ago, when I first got into Mosins....Just so nobody thinks anything untoward, here are some other Mosin pics I use a wallpaper.

Me shooting M38.

Don't remember who's M38 that is.

GunKids'worst nightmare - a whole group of armed and very capable women!

You’re kidding, right?

Hi JT,
meme is a known troll who's had a billion incarnations all over various firearms boards - his most famous name being GunKid. Pay no attention.

My Mosin is Hungarian made, 1953.

Yea Betty - since you and armoredman pointed out who he was, I know I should learn to ignore statements like that. It’s hard for me, though. Thanks for the warning.

Nothing Wrong with a good bolt gun i have a old Mauser and k-31 schmidt ruben(sp) My self to go with rest of my collection..

Only reason they are not first in my selection is becuse im left handed both shoot excellent.

Been thinking of adding a mosin to my collection Good looking Rifles in all the pics..

Now's the time! M44s are still dirt cheap, at $65 from J&G, and elsewhere a few dollars more or less. The M38s are creeping up to around $80 or 90, but fully accessorized 91/30s are also still around $65-75 in excellent rearsenaled condition, meaning not only rebuilt on the outside, but inside too, with counterbore recrowning if necessary! Enjoy! I do, every chance I get!

Although i'm not much of a fan of wood stock guns. I am a fan of the bolt action.

I believe that bolt action rifles are the most accurat out there.

.....i'll still accept a HK PSG-1 if anyone is offering though. I'll trade you some ammo for it :)

bwwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

hhahhahaahbhwwwwuahahahahaha!

gee, then why do i see people all the time with their 'superior' sks's getting 'minute of wrecking ball'groups?

reason #452 NOT to buy a sks: gunkid endorses it.

oh wait! maybe gunkid is working up split-loads in his sks that can leave the barrel at 8000 fps with 50,000 foot lbs of energy and has an absolute flat trajectory out to 3000 yards???
