It was snowing, windy and cold perfect weather for a Mosin Nagant. I packed up some ammo, brought my project Mosin and a M39 which bubba had drilled for a scope. I posted pictures of it with a red dot. I put a 10/22 weaver mount on it and mounted an old Weaver 6 power with a European reticule.
I dressed warm, fired up the wood stove in the warm up house and set out to enjoy myself. Started at 100 yards and was very happy with the results. Then out to 200 yards. It was snowing so hard at one point I was having trouble seeing my hits on the target. Both rifles performed beyond my hopes.
I got to the range at 12:30 and left at 5 p.m. Had to stop shooting at 4:30 due to sunset but I had a great day. I had the place to myself 99% of the day. Turbo showed up for a short time but other than that I was in my little piece of heaven.
The project rifle has a long eye relief 4X Simmons pistol scope and I have to tell you 4X at 200 yards isn't a great deal of help. But the scope held up great, held zero and never drifted.
All in all it was a GREAT day.
