My first Mosin-Nagant Model 1944

[gregintenn]

I recently picked up a 91/30 from a fellow TGO member. I can attest that it has some very noticeable recoil as well. That being said, I'm not much of a magnum guy. It may be the difference in stock shape or something else, but it definitely is less enjoyable to shoot than a standard weight Model 70 Winchester in 30-06.

 

A 22 lr it's not.

You can shoot a deer at close range and cook it at the same time.

The m44 is a neat battle rifle. I think the 91/30 would make a good frog gig, pry bar, or weenie roasting stick.

Ten rounds yesterday, and you can see clearly from my shoulder the shape of the buttplate in purple.

That's why you get a Caldwell/PAST recoil shield/pad and keep on shooting...and then you won't get a purple buttplate mark on your shoulder. [emoji106]
