Greatest bolt action battle rifle in history...

[amadeus76]

Technically adding a trigger isn't increasing the accuracy of the firearm, it is improving the ability of the shooter to use the firearm accurately. Personally I argue the Mosin Nagant is one of the most accurate milsurp rifles out there, provided it is in good condition and fed proper ammo. It gets a bad rep in the accuracy department because of poor condition rifles, poor quality ammo (99% of the surplus is absolute garbage), and inexperienced shooters (Mosin Nagants tend to be cheaper than most milsurps and as such newer shooters tend to buy them, I know my first bolt action was a 91/30).

I would disagree but caveat that and say the a Mosin can be very accurate... My 91/30 was one of the last rifles I purchased and it came with a surprisingly good trigger. However, it still shot horribly. I got probably somewhere between 5-7 MOA out of it. I spent some time and shimmed the barrel and lugs and it now shoots around 2 MOA, sometimes better. I don't think it's the poor condition of the rifles so much as poor QC and bedding due to wartime conditions are Russian doctrine that emphasized mass numbers over quality training and equipment. But the Finns really showed what you could do with these rifles.
