Try the lighter 91/59 then.I have a 1943 Tula 91/30 all matching parts, its really nice picked it up for about $130, great accuracy and groups at 100-200 yards. First time you shoot it you will feel the power lol, but after 2 range trips you should have a beaten up shoulder and should be resistant to it. and dont use a recoil pad shoot it like a man, if you cant get accuracy without it, your a wimp haha
good shooting :cowb:
