Can't really see the rifle well but you can tell what it is.Centuries old and still will kill @ 300 yds +.

Does bacon taste better when you shoot it yourself??

Great vid! KokomoDave, you da man!

 

[ChalupaCabras]

Great shot Dave! Reped!

 

[thej27]

[slacker]

NICE

 

[Lucas156]

That is pretty friggin cool...

 

[Apokalypsi]

Where was this at?

 

[Disposable Heart]

Repped, cool stuff.

I wonder what ammo they were using. If it was milsurp, that is an awesome shot, especially on something small like a pig!

 

[southin]

Great shot indeed. I'd love to take mine hog huntin.

 

[chubbs]

i love my mosins, punch paper with them mainly. glad to see someone still puts his to good use

 

[KokomoDave]

This was a hog hunt in Florida. Can't tell what ammo they were using tho.

I'm gonna be a party pooper...

But what kind of "hunter" takes a shot at any quarry with a firearm they've never shot before? Especially at a "ranged" 350 yard shot. Idiotic.

Why would you have any doubt about a Mosin hitting a target at 350 yards? I'm not a mosin fanatic by any means (in fact, aside from historical value, I don't really like them), but it's an accurate rifle, and in skilled hands it could probably be accurate out to 500 yards or so.

Very nice shot! I have newfound confidence in using mine for hunting now. I just need to practice more, lol

I'm not doubting "the rifle" nor the cartridge. But the history alone doesn't mean jack squat "in the real world".

Would you carry a defensive firearm without testing it out?

Checking for in-general functionality?

Point-of-aim vs. point-of impact? How about the same at various distances? How about the same with differing kinds of ammunition?

Irresponsible hunting, in my opinion.

what ended up being a "good shot/kill" could very well have been a gut or a hind-leg shot that would've led to unnecessary suffering for the animal; something I don't agree with.

I don't remember exactly what he said, besides that it was his first time shooting with that rifle. But how do YOU KNOW that it wasn't someone elses rifle that had used it before for hog hunting?

I don't.

 

[femurphy77]

Just wondering what happens to the kill afterwards? Trophy only or in somebodys freezer for consumption at a later date?

 

[glock34]

How accurate of Rifle are these? I have never shot one and think they would be fun
