1000 yard mosin?

I'm wondering where in the hell he's shooting 1K in that area?

That said, I still say the BS flag can be thrown unless he's got a TON of time, money, and effort into it.

Hmm... That sloppy old trigger, he has to pull it with his middle finger to have the strength to pull it smooth :)

This..

The Atlantic?

I thought that too....1000 yards? In New Jersey?

Ahhh the old 1000 yard Mosin myth. There is a fantastic thread over on the Lightfighter hall of fame about the 1000 yard Mosin. Yeah, I call total bullshit. I don't know about your friend but I can confidently say that every other case I have heard about this is clearly someone either mixing up 1000 yards with 1000 feet or 1000 yards for 100 feet.
Not saying it can't be done, just that it can't be done consistently by guys like us.

8" is .8 MOA. I know nothing about Mosin's, but even if they are sub-MOA rifles at 100, it takes an extremely skilled shooter to duplicate that at 1,000.

I have $1,000 says he can't hit once in ten tries.

Give me a month to work up some data and I'll take that bet!

Yea right!? A few of his shots he wasn't controlling his recoil... I think he did everything he could to that rifle but forgot to polish up that trigger [ROFL1]

That $1K bet will pay off that MN and then some [Coffee]
Now if you got that MN to shoot better than my "Long Leg" I'm gonna put that bitch up for sale [ROFL1]

you're not calling BS on a "guy" from jersey. You've been out here too long and getting soft. give me his number i'll call him for ya. Besides 1K yds. There's not any place out there you can shoot that far.

With circumstances described, guy from Jersey doesn't know the difference between 100 & 1000 yards.

I say its true.

Maybe the guys down at Red Jacket did some magic on it. You know, something thats never been done before, a game changer.
