I think I will get a Weaver rail scout scope mount. The sight I will put on is one from a neighbor, he had it mounted farther up the his gun so it should work. <br />Thanks<br />~DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733992966577117047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21300853.post-22177973391341272482010-07-17T09:43:40.371-07:002010-07-17T09:43:40.371-07:00Hi David,
The centerfire rifle I was using was 7....Hi David,<br /><br />The centerfire rifle I was using was 7.62x39 caliber. I found that it was effective out to about 400 yards, but any farther than that and the bullet lost it's power and was affected by the wind. <br /><br />I brought along my Mosin Nagant 91/30 to try out at the longer distances (out to 600 yards) and thought it was shooting pretty well. I didn't have enough time to do the adjustments so I held high on the target and made some hits with it at 600y. I put a scope on it with the ATI mount kit and that has seemed to work well. The iron sights that came on it worked okay, but it is hard to get a good consistent hold on such a small target! If you get a scout scope mount be sure to get a red dot scope that has a long eye relief or else you won't be able to see through it. <br /><br />You should check out the Appleseed program's website (appleseedinfo.org) and see if there are any weekend shoots in your area. If there isn't you could easily find a range (82 ft long) and they would send instructors to do the program at your range.<br /><br />PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075829702156952012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21300853.post-33290004272015724362010-07-16T03:53:24.886-07:002010-07-16T03:53:24.886-07:00I it sounds like you learned a lot!

I just got it last fall so have not shot it a lot I need to get a case of surplus amo and get better with the iron sights. It has a very nice adjustable rear sight that goes out to 1000 meters! I have never shot it this far yet but would like to try it if I can find a place to safely shoot. I would like to learn to shoot good with the sights but I am thinking of mounting a red dot sight for deer hunting as they tend to come out when it is getting to dark to see the sights. What caliber are the center fire rifles you shot at the camp? The M44 is 7.62 mm which is close to the American 308.<br />~DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733992966577117047noreply@blogger.com
