heavy ball military load also is still supersonic at over 1000 meters, has an extremely high ballistic co-efficient, and one of if not the best of all the infantry cartridges of the war. at just under 2400 f.p.s.? Please, the euro loadings are standard with 198 gr at close to 2600. They work fine on game but for all intensive purpouses the Rem., Federal, and Winchester 170 gr. 45-70 to ho-hum extremely mild levels) domestic loaded 8X57mm is WAY underpowered. One other thing, for legal reasons (much like why all major manufacturers load.
MAUSER K98 VS MOSIN NAGANT FULL
They missed the full casehead support, internal collar in the reciever ring, flat breechface and superior gas venting ability ,and large gas shield on the bolt however, that the mauser 1898 has. The 03 Springfield has better sights for target work, and is almost a copy. The P-14/M1917 "Enfields" are a mauser pattern rifle as well by the way. It's more adaptable to a wider range of tasks than the Enfield aslo IMHO. It made all other boltguns obsolete when it came out. 115 years and the M98 mauser is still being produced, and hasn't been improved upon. IMHO overall, the Mauser is the better overall rifle. The scope that we used were Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x40 AO – they are entry level good quality scopes.Some can say with a reasonable argument the Enfield (SMLE) is the best bolt action combat rifle. We’ve shot 240 rounds surplus 7.92x57 with K98k scope mount and more than 300 rounds of Russian surplus 7.62x54R with the Mosin Nagant scope mount and both rifles hold zero. We’ve done our own field testing as well.
MAUSER K98 VS MOSIN NAGANT FREE
This is why shooters free float their barrel for accurate rifle shootings. This is the same with the rifle barrel – the barrel vibrates during the shooting (called barrel whip), but as long as it goes back to the same position after the vibration it will not affect the accuracy.

The vibration does not affect the accuracy because the NDT scope mount goes back to the same position after every shot. This video will give you an idea of how scopes are tested against shock: The most powerful impact to the scope is the back/forward motion after the round is fire. Watch this video how this steel scope mount and scope vibrates:Īll quality scopes are designed to withstand the recoil force that is far more violent than this up/down the vibration. In fact, all scopes vibrate due to the recoil. Yes, the full-length NDT scope mount vibrates during the shooting.
