Video: 1,000-yard Shots with a Mosin-Nagant Rifle

The abundance and rugged durability of Mosin-Nagant rifles keep them popular, and the guns are often cheap enough to experiment with, like this “steampunk” version. These venerable rifles have a reputation for being reliable, and some models are known for their accuracy. This recently uploaded video tests the Mosin-Nagant out to 1,000 yards.

According to the video’s description, the owner bedded the receiver and part of the barrel, replaced the front sight with a custom one, and modified the trigger to have a two-pound pull. The ammunition used was Brown Bear 174-grain full metal jacket.
