I took my new M44 to the range for the first time.
First time for this gun and first time firing a MN.
Not knowing the gun, I was a bit apprehensive at first.
I fired first some prvi partizan 150grain SP. Fired great! Not much kick. Hit target good at 100yards, and tried 3 times at 200 yards. But open sight and my old eyes and too few hours sleep last night, I hit 12 inch target twice, 3rd shot not real close.
Then I tried some Russian surplus ammo (not sure what grain) Wow, had a bit more kick. I wasn't quite as accurate with those, hitting high and left.
I loved this rifle even before I fired it, even more now, but I think I will stay with the non surplus as much as possible.
