Hi Folks,
This is my review of Brass Stacker's Mosin-Nagant scout scope combo,
complete with match rounds* fired.

It works nicely with my sights and seems well made.
I'm favorably impressed.

*S&B/Winchester cases, annealed, Federal large rifle primers, 51.2 grains
of H4350, Hornady 174 grain 0.312" bullets. COAL 2.975". This is 0.2
grains over minimum.
I enjoy the Brass Stacker. I mounted one on an M38 with a 2 minute red dot sight and took it to the range two days ago. It was a hit with me and others. It is easy to hit anything within sight (I was hitting plates at 500 meters) using some hold-over. The plates at 400 and 350 were easy gongs too. At 100, tight groups were a lot easier than trying to use the irons. They do not perminately modify the rifle so you can try it to see it you like it (and you still have the BUIS to use). I suggest that once you try it, it will spoil you too. I will probably find or make a pad to make a better cheak weld.
You might enjoy this, Racker:
A while back I received Brass Stacker's original buttstock ammo carrier, by Rick Lowe. I was impressed.
Yesterday I received one of their newer versions of the buttstock ammo carrier for use with 'scopes.

You can see the raised cheek rest.

The loops take five loose rounds for topping off, while the pouch takes one stripper clip of ammo.

A comparison to my faithfully serving ammo holder that I've used for a while now.
I am left-handed, and this is their left-handed version. The right-handed version is a mirror image.
While it's more friendly to the sizes of the Chinese knockoff stripper clips and the original Finnish stripper clips (one of the latter is shown), I did try it with a Russian stripper clip and it works fine!
I will need to put the 'scope back on here and give this a try. I can't imagine it being anything but excellent. Having grown up on 'scopes and only recently determined to shoot really well with iron sights, I am comfortable with a variety of cheek welds for 'scopes, including both American and European styles.
I was having to use a floating European-style weld before. Now I can use the American cheek weld with the rest!
