That I like Mosin-Nagants? Was cleaning and organizing a safe, and decided to share some of my babies. All are shooters,
the pretend sniper is my bad weather hunting rifle.

Trigger;
That's an extensive collection. Let me know when you outgrow your present safe.

Actually, most of my milsurps are in a strong box, not a genuine safe.
I have a buddy that worked for UP, and when they upgraded their trackside boxes,
they gave the surplus ones away to employees. Will be looking at another safe in a couple years,
I will ask for your expertise.
History? That's why I like milsurps, new guns are...well... sterile feeling.
The long guns are, top to bottom:
Finnish M-91
Finnish M-39 (SAKO)
The M39 is my second favorite cast bullet rifle.
Finnish M27 Civil Guard
Finnish M91/30
Soviet M91/30.
The Russian 91/30 was converted into a "pretend" sniper by me, I did at least as well as the alleged "wizards"
at one of the big surplus houses. It does an honest 1.25 MOA with good ammunition, and has taken several whitetail.
The scope is only a 3x, but is quite clear.
The shorties, top to bottom, are:
Russian/Soviet M44
Russian/Soviet M38
1941 production, captured by the Finns. M38s with the Finnish SA marks are somewhat rare.
M91/59
Different stories about why these were produced. Some say they are Romanian rehabs, looking for hard currency, some
say they were a legitimate military varient produced in the late 50s/early 60s for second and third line troops.
Assorted Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, and Chinese M44s
Bottom is not a MN, it is a Polish .22 LR trainer that has the look of a MN.
NH, the long ones handle better, particularly the M39. The shorties do ok, but be ready to
withstand some recoil and muzzle blast.

That was a good movie. But anywayz...
Do the shorties shoot as well as the long ones? I was wondering because you can get mosins cheap and i was thinking as getting one as a backup hunting rifle. Even though the bolt is on the wrong side, it would be a hell of a lot cheaper than going with a Savage.

Enema at the Gates was ok, could have done without the sappy, tacked on love interest.
NH, there is no reason mechanicly that the carbines will not shoot as well as the longer rifles.
The main reason they are harder to hit with is the shorter sight radius. Of course, to a youngster
like you, that shouldn't matter! I would love to have those young eyes again, at 48 it gets a bit tougher to focus
on the front sight, rear sight, and target.
If you mount a scope, the accuracy potential is as close to the same as to not matter. I have heard good and bad things
about the B-Square scout mount for the M44. Some complained that tolerances were way off, and the mounts would not hold zero.
When you consider how many M44s were produced in all the Soviet bloc countries, it is a wonder there is any standardization at all.
I have heard good reports about Darrell's Scout Mounts, he used to hang out at Gunboards.com. You can do a Google search and find his
website, if you want that sort of mount.
