God damn I loved that rifle. It was last one I owned. When I was young, I could hit a dime from a hundred+ yards, they called that 'dead shot.' I was a dead shot. My Grand-dad and Uncles used to make bets with strangers who didn't know me, back when I was a little guy. I liked to skeet shoot with a .22 short. I would hit more often than miss. Never mind. Mosin-Nagant 7.62x54mm [rim fire]
This was the first one I owned: http://www.gunsandammo.com/content/model-1909-argentine-mauser?page=1 still my favorite.
