Re: Best Replica scopes?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: PolsVoice</div><div class="ubbcode-body">My mosin PU scope is a russian VOMZ scope that can be found through Kalinka. I don't know (but suspect) that it was made pre-91 where the Ukraine is now. It's super solid and helps me put easy 1.75-2.5" groups through my Izmash mosin with surplus ammo and the mosin's truly crappy trigger.
The downside of these older scopes is that in order to get the reticle on target and centered in the glass, you have to shim/shave it at the base plate. I used little slivers of silver solder to shim it, and it's super solid.
Another downside of the PU scope is that it does not allow for rapid stripper-clip reloading (or at least I haven't found a trick to make it work).
Still, the rifle looks "right" with a PU scope, it's more than functional, and it replicates a great piece of world history. Also, for all of you who played the original Medal of Honor, you'll recognize the unique reticle. It's fun to shoot, but kicks like a bear - oddly enough, more so than my brother's EDM .50. </div></div>
+1 Also, JG Sales sells M91/30s with the reproduction scope/mount already installed. About $500 once you factor in shipping and FFL transfer fee. Not bad, considering the cost of the parts. In my opinion, the PU is the only way to scope a Mosin. Anything else is just criminal. Love the MoH comment.
