Mosin nagant vs lee enfield for hunting.

[Aragorn243]

No question on this one. Lee Enfiled is vastly superior in all categories. First off, Mosin Nagant ammo for hunting is not dime a dozen. You don't use FMJ for hunting, it's even illegal in many states. So price is going to be about the same for hunting ammo. Enfield is a smoother action, holds more rounds, not that you should need more than one. And best of all has a safety that doesn't require both hands to operate. The Mosin Nagant is a fun range gun, does have cheap range ammo and you don't have to worry about putting the safety on and off quietly and with minimal movement at the range. It does not make a very good hunting rifle for all of the above reasons.

Have to agree here, I don't like the handling characteristics of the Mosin in any shape. The Russians only used them because they couldn't figure out anything better...
