I think I got bit...

This is my first Mosin, a 91/30 manufactured in 1940, just picked it up yesterday, shoots about 2.5 inch groups with surplus ammo from 100 yards!

Anyone have any tips in regards to care/tweaking for accuracy?

Also, where can I order surplus ammo online?


Thanks guys!

Well done, is this your first milsurp or just your first Mosin?

If you check out surplusrifle.com there is a tutorial for shimming the trigger in order to make it lighter. But yours might already be fine.

As far as surplus X54 goes, the only place in Canada I know of that sells it online is Districorp.ca, and possibly marstar.ca, I'm sure there are more that someone else can point you to.

2.5 " at 100 yards with milsurp ammo isn't too shabby. Reloading with good bullets might get you a inch, but try some commercial factory hunting ammo and see what it does. It's suitable for deer, black bears and moose with the right bullet.

Agreed. Sounds as accurate as the rifle needs to be. Improve performance by switching to reloaded ammo.
