I've owned a Finnish M39 Mosin-Nagant and it shot 180gr. S&B ammo in a 1 1/4" group at 100 yards with open sights. I would imagine with a scope and some good reloads, that 1/2" groups wouldn't be out of the question.

Just the same, I'd like to hear from those of you that have scoped and reload for your Mosin-Nagant.

* What's the accuracy groups at 200 yards or more?
* What bullet size/weight are you reloading?
* Do you hunt with this rifle?

Thank you, Bowhunter57
