Are you shooting a Finnish mosin or a russian mosin? I've never heard of a russian mosin being that accurate. If it is russian, what's your secret??? I wish mine were that accurate.Neither are you going to improve the accuracy much. I am getting 1 1/2"@100 out of my scoped Mosins, which is about what one would get out of a comercial rifle and factory ammo.

I've been thinking the same thing about reloading. For practically the cost of projectiles, you're getting a fully loaded round! thats hard to beat.
I must say, that's remarkable. I will have to look into doing a trigger job and a scope when I can afford it. Is there a link to the trigger re-work you did or was it something you came up with? BTW, what ammo were you using?It is Russian. This one is an Izzie, 1943, and the two shots are before and after I cut 7 inches off the barrel last week.
The trick is a good trigger rework and mounting a scope.
The shot off to the left on the last pic is a spotter shot, I adjusted the scope off that shot and made the 3 shot group.
The first group is .96 center to center. Cutting the barrel opened it to 1.25 out of the roughly squared muzzle with no additional crowning.
