My K31, Mosin Nagant 91/30 and CZ-52 are scheduled to be delivered today. I purchased the Mosin Nagant more as an afterthought while placing my order for the other two firearms... I saw these 91/30s described on their website as being in VG condition and selling for $59, so I figured why not throw one in.
I am curious what I should expect from this rifle in terms of accuracy. With my Soviet M44, I can get 3-4" groups at best using the iron sights, albeit about 6" high at 100 yards. However, typical groups I'm getting with this rifle averages around 6".
I know I am capable of squeezing better groups from a rifle, as I can typically get groups a third that size with my M96 and 2-3" groups on average with my M48A (which I still feel was an excellent purchase).
I've always loved older military surplus rifles and certainly won't fault this old warhorse if it can't print tighter groups than my M44... but I would like to know if others have noticed any difference in accuracy between the M44 and M91/30 before I take this out to the range.
Thanks in advance.
