I added a fixed 4X scope to my Mosin Nagant 91/30 just to help me see the target using my old eyes. With this setup I can consistantly shoot 3 shot groups that are sub 1" at 100 yards from the benchrest. Yes I'm qualify as an old f**t but I like shooting targets and I agree with you as my Mosin Nagant 91/30 is currently my favorite rifle.
