Finally got the mosin out today!

[sgreen3]

Well took out the mosin today. Was shooting at 100yrds and it was all over the place. No matter were i set the scope seemed it didnt really help that much. Almost every round was low right. Only way I could bring it center was move the sniper rectile in the scope left(very frustrating day shooting) Although I was just using surp ammo, and just a Nc star scope, But DANG should it really be that hard to hit center,lol

I was hitting 6" steel plate at 300 yards consistently on my M38 with scope. Maybe ditch it and grab a new one???

When you buy a scope it is worth spending money for a good quality one in my opinion. My guess is that is why you are so frustrated with your weapon. But I'm just guessing. Good luck.

If you shot the way I did yesterday, you should just work on breathing, not being shakey, and practice that trigger pull.

Glad to hear you got out and got some range time though!

Yup, bad optics are gonna do that to ya. You could remove the scope then try it with the open sights, remove some of the variables.

Ditch the scope and start at 25yrds then go to 50yrds and so on with the irons to get a feel of where its hitting. Mosins usually are pretty accurate for a WWII battle rifle...

Good thought, ill give that a try

The scope may be the problem,but I think it is your mount.Is that the mount that replaces the rear sight? I have had one of these and it lost the zero after every round went down range no matter what I tried.

Nah its the one that is drilled an tapped to the reciver housing from ATI

Are they all that bad?, I was thinking about getting one of those, might have to rethink that.....

The mount is bolted to the reciver housing, It is very solid, I dont thin that would be it. It very well could be the scope, though. Ill have to check into it an see what I come up with. May have to end up getting a more expensive scope.

I had the same problem. Turns out the holes for the mount where not in line with the barrel when they where drilled by the suppossed machinist I had drill them.

Your right never thought of that. Im going to put the stock sights back on her an see how that does. I think that sould narrow the problem down a bit.

I have personal experience with the Darrell's scope mount and it is rock solid. It s been moved around on several rifles during accuracy testing and it still holds zero. Just about everybody who has tried the el cheapos has had nothing but trouble out of them. The Darrell's is expensive, but they're worth it. Also I've seen many good comments made on the mount made by IIRC S&K.

Did you ever figure out the problem ? Im interested to hear what the culprit was.
