Unfortunately, you missed the large selection of vendors by about a month. Most places that have had them in the $500-$600 range for very nice examples are OOS. AIM and Classic are both out. Royal Tiger may have a few, but the price has gone up. Rguns is another Vendor that may have them. Mine from RTI was really nice and I bought it on sale for $499, but that ship has sailed for now.

I have one for 6 years and haven't even shot it. I even bought some brass case Yugo heavy ball for it. I suck and need to get my ass to the range. Good luck OP.

Good luck OP. 91/30's tend to like the 150 grain stuff. Your experience may vary. As a rule, the shorter Mosin Nagants tend to like heavier ammunition. I shoot PPU 150 grain soft point and it loves the stuff. My best grouping was a 50 yard test and I could completely cover the hole with a dime. In the right hands, not mine, and with the right ammunition, I could see it being used out to 1,000 yards without any difficulty. Now go henceforth to the range and set up your beast. You will probably be very happy with it. |

That is a good price on that PU, its a nice one.The accessory kit and bayonet is useless, bayonets were never issued to snipers. Slings can be had for cheap, they imported a shit ton of them. PU snipers arent getting any cheaper, so pay up or try to find another for cheaper (unlikely) |

As stated above.. this isn't a 91/30 they were not issued with bayonets.. accessory kits can be had all day long same with slings. Not sure of the issue... as they shouldn't be one. If i was the seller i wouldn't let that go for anything below 650.. |

Truth is we are not real far apart on the price. I know the bayonet wasn't issued with the rifle but it is something I want. The sling and tools are a must have for me. The diffrance we are apart is about the price of a sling and tool set.
I am ready to send him a postal money order once / if we make a deal What is really hurting the deal is how long it takes to respond to the pm. It gets me thinking that he may take long time to ship the rifle instead of being prompt. Fact is I want ( but dont need) a pu rifle and have cash ready to go for one, but I do have a budget to stick to so I can get it the way I want it. If I can not get it with in budget I am willing to walk away and wait for next one or even have reproduction made. |

Putting a bayonet on that beautiful sniper rifle is almost as bad as voting for Obama. Almost!
Even plain jane 91/30s have crept up in price. Locally where I live, it's hard to walk into a LGS and walk out with a Mosin for < $200 |

I know mine came without them. His price is fair. Honestly, I was thinking I might be able to use another sniper, when I saw the ad. I'm not going to buy it but, if I were in the market, I'd be looking real hard at that one. You aren't going to see deals like that for too much longer. |

Just made a deal for this rifle. And put ad up looking for the things I want to go with this rifle..
I have question about the pu sniper rifles. I have seen several places that the 91/30 shoots better with the bayonet attached and was intended to stay on the rifle most of the time. If this is true, then why is it not the same for the pu sniper rifle? |

Standard 91/30s were supposedly sighted in at the factory with the bayonets attached. The bayonets don't effect accuracy just point of impact.

I always heard that when Mosins were sighted in at the factory, the ones that shot the best groups were pulled to make sniper rifles. Not sure if that's true or not. I guess when you mass produce guns, some of them randomly just fit together better than others and are therefore more accurate.

Sniper barrels were hand selected at the factory before mating to the rifle.

I did get the listed PU sniper rifle on Easter Sunday. what was a surprise was the seller only lived about an hour drive from me so I went up and bought it.
Right now I have about 3 spam cans of the 47 gr silver tip bullets, is this the right ammo to feed this rifle? |

I guess when you mass produce guns, some of them randomly just fit together better than others and are therefore more accurate. This is true. All rifles were tested and at the factory and rifles that qualified were stamp accordingly. Not all rifles that qualified were made into sniper rifles. I have seen stamped rifles that were never converted to a sniper configuration. Those that were had special trigger work done on them and had scopes and mounts custom fitted to the rifle. Serial numbers were used to insure that the right scope mounting system stayed with a particular rifle. The Russians were the only country that actually had a sniper system in WWII. Other countries simply scoped various rifles. The Russians had a system to convert the rifles to a sniper configuration and keep track of them. Being a sniper was dangerous business. Soldiers from all armies hated snipers and usually killed them when they were captured. |

147 LPS will work but most surplus LPS isn't renowned for accuracy.
I have found with my PU's that Heavy ball shoots a lot better esp at longer range than any LPS I've ever shot short of real Russian Sniper ammo. Commercial 174-185 gr FMJBT Brown/Silver bear, MFS, PPU 182 FMJ/Match shoot prettygood. PPU 182 FMJBT is about the best commercial I have tried and it is reloadable, shoots about the same as the surplus Russian Blue Box Match Ball. |

I always heard good things about the Czech 147gr silvertip light ball. I bought 1,500rd of the PPU 182gr brass case to try out years ago.
