Took my M38 out for the first time

Holy crap I really like this gun. Much less recoil than I expected, and I'm more accurate with it than I am with my .30-30 at 100m... and I'm pretty good with my .30-30. Probably due to the different sights.
Took it out to further distances (400m), and while there are more accurate guns out there it shoots MOH (Minute Of Hajji) just fine.
I do really like this cartridge, thinking about getting a PSL sometime in the future.

Nice.

The Dragunov / PSL are fun and accurate!! The 7.62x54 Russian is sweet round. Get one! You wont be dissapointed.

No pics of the targets, but here's a couple from an unsuccessful coyote hunt with it that evening (was camping all weekend).

[mcantar18c]

Yup, a couple dozen miles outside of Fairplay. Good eye.

I've always had fun with my 91/30's. Believe it or not, got into the guns from the Metal Gear series...

WOLVERINES!!!!

That's hilarious! That's exactly what I thought when I looked at the photos. I expected to see a Russian tank rolling across that valley.

I always liked the M38. No bayo on the end makes it light and clean looking. The x54r cartridge is no slouch, either.

I'm sorry to say I have no Russian surplus guns in my safe. Maybe I should while ammo is still relatively inexpensive.

What year and arsenal is it? Surplus or commercial ammo?
