Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

It's hardly a precision weapon. I love it precisely because you can see the tooling marks where the receiver was milled out in a freezing Izhevsk factory by some underpaid peasant and chucked into the new-parts bin as soon as it came within a few millimeters of spec.
Maybe it was put into a crate destined for Stalingrad, and never made it to the front.
Who knows?

True dat.
I was surprised; I fully expected to suck. Isn't one supposed to suck when one starts pistol shooting?
The rounds just seemed to do what I wanted them to, though. The RO raised eyebrows when we went forward to score and asked, very flatteringly, if this was really the first time I'd held a pistol.
That comment didn't make up for my years of childhood abuse and neglect, but it sure put a grin on my face for the rest of the evening.

I'll make sure to have a few rounds handy for you to put through it.
Be advised, it's quite... loud.

I'm beginning to think you were right.
Greg should be locked up for good and all gun dealers closed down, guns banned and civilians disarmed.

The first time i shot a pistol, 7 of the ten went into the black, the rest were in 4 and 5... Rifles are still my passion, although my feinwerkbau pistol is serving me well...

One, two free, floor!
LOL.... yeah - my wife is though ... well possibly. She doesn't like guns but gave it a go for me - y'know... sharing interests and all that. Very cute.
Till she was sitting there, had a shot at the target (big enough - a 1.5 litre coke bottle.)
Took the lid off the fucker... first shot. So I said ok... you were lucky that time - a bit high y'know - the labels down there etc... "Oh no - I was aiming for the lid".
Righto... gotcha.
Next shot... same bloody thing... I can't recall - we put a lump of dirt up there or something - same size...
Next shot missed *phew*
shots 4 and 5... hit... and hit... BUGGER!
Quote of the moment - "That's easy enough, you just put the crossharis on the target and pull the trigger"...
My response - "Yes dear, that's why it's an olympic sport." I'd love to see what she can really do with a bit of encouragement and training - but as I say... not really interested...!
edit - not ideal for the ego...

Mwahahahaha. With a .22, sure.
Let's give her my Mosin or a .300 WinMag.
Thirty rounds later she'll have developed a flinch she'll carry to her grave...

might be wise to not get caught with your pants down Nige, unless the keys to the gunsafe are in your pocket at teh time.
Aargh, photos!
Thats the base of a good pistol shooter. Along with pulling the wings off flies and burning things

WTF is a 3008?
You're thinking either 30-06 or .308, right?
The Mosin is bangier and shoulder-hurtier than any rifle in either calibre that I've shot, mostly due to the short barrel and steel buttplate. 7.62x54R ballistics are pretty much identical to the 30-06 (and the 8x57, for that matter).
