[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3112643, member: 41653"] The bore on mine is dark, and lightly pitted. The rifling is strong, however. The biggest problem for me is the trigger. The thing is 47 miles long. I start pulling, get tired, go for coffee, pull some more, hook a chain to it, attach a winch, pull some more, BANG ! I would put a Timney trigger on it, but for 2 things. 1) it's against the rules for the match. 2) the trigger costs more than the rifle. One of the things I discovered at my very first match last Saturday was this; If one can't keep all 50 rounds inside the 9-ring (a 4" circle) at 100 yds, one won't even score in the middle of the pack. Another discovery; A stock Mosin, with factory Mosin sights, will never be able to go head to head with anything with stock peep sights. At least not with me shooting the Mosin. If it hadn't been for Darren bringing the wrong box of ammo, and basically throwing rocks at the target for 50 rounds, I would have been dead last. I have a lot of work to do. My 5" groups aren't going to do it, unless everyone else comes down with Mad Cow Disease and starts hallucinating one week. I did enjoy the outing. I'll be back. [/QUOTE]
