Stretched the M44
« on: February 08, 2013, 06:52:27 PM »
I had a bit of range work to do and took my M44 Mosin Nagant Carbine along since I hadn't shot it in a while.  Our range has steel starting at 200yds and goes out to 1050.  There is an elk at 485yds and a buffalo at 535yds.  I raised the sight to the 5 mark and shot about 2 feet over the buffalo.  Dropped it to 3 and smacked it!  Held a bit lower on the elk and was rewarded with yet another hit.  Considering the front sight almost completely covers the target at that range, I was pretty happy.  I was making hits about 50 per cent of the time past 400yds.  Gotta love those old Russian rifles!
