9.3x57 I have one 7x53R Finnish Mosin in my cabinet so I know that caliber quite well. It seems that you did not understand my early comment properly...

I wasn't really addressing your statement per se, just adding the link for those unfamiliar w/ the caliber. I figured you of all people here would be familiar with the various Finnish rounds based on the x53R FINN case.

first time a russian Medved rifle in 9,3x53R is for sale outside of russia, actually in finland. heard they were exportet to bulgara but never see it.

comes with 200 cartridges for 750 euro whats not terrible expensive. would need another scope+scope mount but if you have time another project is allways welcome.

see this rifle on a hungarian auction site, a mosin(carbine?)with an interesting safety idea if I am not wrong
https://vadaszapro.net/reszletek/341869/tula--gv--ussr

looks tlike there is a safety button on the rear end, left side of the action that turns in and blocks the firing pin

Lars; this kind of safety has been used here in Finland maybe more than a decade now. I haven´t still bought it to my next Mosin project it could be possible....

the size of the rifle speaks how massive the elk was. winter coat added some but in general its a little bit more than a whitetail.

yes indeed. they run much bigger than our WT's.

shot was taken standing offhand @ ~80m, too. pretty decent shooting. he has other modern rifles but has really taken a shine to the crude ancient ole mosin! it's kinda like the "muzzle loader of the bolt action world".

in our pampered age shooting game with iron sights over 80 meter or even 80 yards is a good achievement.
