Now im in trouble!
 

I got the Optima and set and ready to go for the elk hunt, but today i got myself into some trouble!

Bought an M39 mosin nagant 7.62x54r :bash:

I am looking at the optima and now the mosin, thinking. which one? which one?

Yes........

optima, it is ready

you would have an lot of play time to do with the new toy

Shoot the Mosin to see how accurate it is. They can be very accurate...or not. Hope you were able to shoot it or verify its accuracy before buying. Not like they are that expensive though.

They are cool. I want one. And the bruised shoulder that goes with it.

just bought it today, no play time yet. Just learned how the safety works lol.

Just looked up mounts and a syn. stock for it. Great stuff available for these ol Mosins

cheaper then dirt, centerfire systems, maybe sksman.com

yep, sportsmans warehouse and amazon had the stocks and mounts. Really excited about the rifle to be honest. Great short rifle, heavy but feels rock solid. $120 out the door

Im A True Traditionalist, Bow and MLer Only. I prefer a Challange and to all the rest, Rifles, Shotguns and Assult Weapons, I can do without. It's a Nice Toy to play with but in the end I feel better inside knowing I did it with one shot.

Me too. Bow and muzzleloader is all I need. Bought some centerfire rifles finally and decided I don't like them. I'll stick with muzzleloaders, so now I'm looking to trade them. Closest I want to a modern rifle is a Sharps 45-70 for long range silhoulette shooting.Preferably a Pedersoli
