They are a full power rifle round that is a lot cheaper to shoot than a standard American rifle round. Cheap gun, cheap bullets, give you a lot of trigger time for a lot less on a full power rifle. It is good to get in time with a .22 rifle but also good to get time in with a full powered rifle. Mosin are easy to clean and maintain. The Caliber is capable of taking down very large Animals if needed. You would be fine hunting anything in North America. Mosin Nagants are not the pretties or best by far. Some say they have the looks of only a mother could love. But to tell ya the truth I love my Mosin.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opensourcegun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/imag0004.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-121\" src=\"https:\/\/opensourcegun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/imag0004-300x179.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of mosins nagant, two 91\/30, M44 with a bayonet and a M38\" width=\"300\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opensourcegun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/imag0004-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/opensourcegun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/imag0004-1024x612.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Top and bottom is 91\/30 The 2nd from the top is a M-38.
