Scoped My Mosin

I have ordered the S&K mount, thanks to Strato, the one you mentioned has bad reviews everywhere I've looked. Sloppy fit and won't hold zero apparently.

it did need some TLC and I should have mentioned that in my previous post,, the little screws on the side needed to be drilled out and a solid pin used in their place. Now it is rock solid and no mods to the gun or sight mounts needed so gun can easily be returned to original

fair enough, I hadn't heard of anyone modding them, just using them as "stock" and not having any luck with them holding. well done!

The goal is to hopefully improve accuracy. If I can get some nice groupings it should make a great target shooter at the Range and possibly a nice Deer hunting Rifle as well.

Strictly speaking I don't think it will improve accuracy, it will undoubtedly help you to see better though :) There are a couple of simple things that you can do that will improve accuracy, floating the barrel, and hand loading. I have found that a 123 grain bullet and 52 grains of BL-C 2 works wonders in my M-44, it came with a floating barrel as standard. Using surplus ammo will not give accuracy that the rifle is capable of.

Watch this to understand how floating the barrel makes a rifle more accurate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGEh_GYgZqk&list=PL56D8F120881CDB5A

That NCstar scope should last about two shots...Maybe 3.

I received my S & K Mount for my Mosin today and put a NC Star 2-7x32 Scope on it...... the eye relief is perfect.The S & K mount is great, very sturdy and well built hopefully I will get some range time in soon.

by "accuracy", I was more referring to MY accuracy haha.....my M44 does what it does very well, I however require a lil magnification help to reach out and touch.

I need magnification as well. The trouble with magnification is that it usually lets you know how inaccurate the rifle is. A little tweaking makes a big difference. That's why snipers were issued with special ammunition.

Both groups were shot with surplus ammo using an SKS. The group on the right was shot shooting the rifle as standard, the group an the left was shot shooting it tweaked. This afternoon I will shoot it again with hand loads.

Here's my M-44. It shoots crap with the bayonet removed, the video I posted above explains why.

Cool Video, Like tungngroove2000 mentioned... for me the main reason for the scope is to better improve my vision for distance shooting...hopefully it will save we a lot of walking back and forth at the Range to see if I actually hit the Target...lol.
