Simo Häyhä aka "The White Death", is known as the world’s deadliest sniper. He used a Finnish Civil Guard Mosin Nagant M28/30. Astonishingly, he was able to take down over 500 enemy soldiers in a span of a few months during the Winter War (1939-1940). For him to get this many kills, he had to use many concealment techniques and sniper tactics against the Soviets. He also had to have a trustworthy and accurate rifle, which was the Mosin Nagant M28/30. So is this rifle capable of long distance accuracy with iron sights? Can we replicate long distance engagements with it? In this video, we went to the Talladega Marksmanship Park in Alabama to find out. Our engagement distances were 100yds, 200yds, 300yds and 600yds. Needless to say, I was very surprised with the results!
Note: these M28/30’s were designed for the 7.62x53r, slightly different than the Russian 7.62x54r. This is most likely why the bullet shoots at a different elevation than what the rear sight is set to.
