I practiced with mine, was very comfortable out to 150 yards for this season. Hit atree branchat35 yards and watched 8 doe bounce into the ravine in front of me ....
I wasshooting a 208 grain soft point out of mine. I was very practiced up..grrr just low light and not the best vision I totally missed the tree branch i hit!!! I ended up getting one with my .30-06 later that day... I was also shooting with a cast on my hand.... and as heavy as the nagant is...it was a little rough to shoot! I love my nagant, and will try again next year!!!
