Tikka 1942 M 91 Mosin Nagant.

It’s the 100 yard reduced SR target (SR-1) that has a 3.35 inch 10 ring and 1.35 inch X ring. 

Once the weather warms up, I hope you get out and shoot in the Lee Enfield Forum Virtual Match.  

I chose the SR target for our Virtual match as I think it will encourage members to work at shooting a “clean” score (all in the 10 ring) which is well within the capability of the Lee Enfield.  It also gives us a yard stick to compare with the CMP Vintage Military Match published scores which includes many different bolt action military service rifles.  The third reason is that the SR target is the only 200 yard target overlay available at the range I shoot at.  

The expectation is that most will be able to shoot within the 10 ring with a high X ring count in the Unlimited class (off the bench with a scope).  If we want to make this class more challenging, we can change the target to the SR-31 (MR 600 yard target reduced to 100 yards).  

In the pictures, it looks almost camouflaged  with the way the wood grain is!  :-)

1897 Czarist receiver, re-barreled by Tikka in 1942.  Well used but V good bore.

I know you from another site or two!  :-)

 

I Will post a pic or two, but am useless at computer stuff myself.   (Getting 'em off the phone that is!)

 

This one is OK pressure-wise, and as you say, the books say .3095"   It is  a deal larger in the bore than my old M 91/24 Lotta rifle though.

Years ago, I scoped a Tikka M 91-30, back when we didn't know any better!  I bought the rifle at auction for $40. 00!  Barrel as new. Got a few deer with it.

 

Shot it for a start with open sights.

Tried it at 550 yards, resting elbows on truck hood.

Set up a packer wheel off a seed drill

Set sights on 500 metres and let fly.

Heard the first shot hit.  Second and third I didn't hear but saw packer move a bit.

Went to see.    All 3 in 4 1/4".  This with the standard open sights.  Should have kept it!

 

 

The TIKKA rifles are well done re-dos and shoot well. Hard to tell from the picture but does it have the stacked front sight ?

Thanks for sharing.

..MJ..

I'll have a look if we ever get another range day here. Like the Finn rifles and had a friend years ago (RIP) who gave me many history lessons and the included the fight at the church.

The 28/30 is not D market and has a .308" bore and came from my late friend. An amazing built rifle with the complex bedding.

Some of my Finn's.

I had to let four go due to health costs '39 through '43 well war used but perfect bores. Much Regret there.

I will check the M91 as I said. It came with and early ring lock bayonet too. NO import marking, he lived up by the Border before I met him.

Stacked front sight.
