1000 yard mosin?

[cofi]

My "friend" from nj who goes shooting "once a month" claims to be able to repeatedly ring an 8" steel at 1000 yards with a mosin that's been modified (though he couldn't say what exactly had been done)

This is pretty much impossible right? I wanna know if I can comfortably call bullshit over the phone

What scope?

Call of Duty?

I think it'll reach out there. I tried shooting my buddies Mosin out to 600 yards with irons. I hit nothing but dirt

Go ahead and call bullshit. Better, ask him how much he's holding over first. It's going to be on the order of 400" or 33'. If the rifle is scoped, it's going to be 40 MOA. If he says five feet, you know he's full of crap.

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!

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

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

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

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

Is he shooting a mosin 100yds at another mosin, that has an 8" steel plate rigged to the trigger, so when he hits that plate, it fires the 2nd mosin, which shoots 100yds at a 3rd mosin with an 8" plate rigged to the trigger, which repeats out to 1000yds?

For what its worth, I have no actual reference for whether this is legit or not.

30"-36" gong, maybe. Guys can do that with practice. But 8"? NFW, I'd throw the BS flag on that play. Guys from NJ aren't known for BS'ing now are they? Maybe just a little.....

[islandermyk]

.. but this guy has done some shit to his set up and to top it off.. he rolls his own ammo.
