My own Mosin rifle, according to a retired officer , he acquired in 2008 and fired about a thousand shots from it.
«Despite the strong recoil, the age of the weapon and how weakly the bolt rattled when I twitched it t uda-here, "old grandmother" was very accurate. I didn't do the more detailed and methodical accuracy tests I usually do for my handgun reviews, but I was nonetheless amazed at how easily I hit what I was aiming at at 91 meters,» Orr said.
