Does the eye relief work on a Mosin Nagant 91/30?

If you have the ati scope mount that's drilled yes... just the rear sight mount no.. recommend the ati set up drill and tap... best way for a sturdy mount

it worked just fine for about 200 shots now at 100 yards it has a grouping of about 6 inches

The scope has about three inches of eye relief, more than enough for the recoil of a .30 caliber rifle like the Mosin Nagant, the scope is actually rated for the .50 BMG. The scope seems to be well built -- I like mine a lot ------

Sure, it's standard 3.5 inch. The question is, finding the base that you need. I've seen them mounted , so I know it can be done.

With the scope mounted in an "off set" position, with a side rail, it will work very well. This might need to be done by a gunsmith. (Well, I'm not qualified, anyway.) If mounted straight over the ejection port , which is also the place you load, you won't be able to utilize stripper clips. You may still be able to load them one by one. Either way, I believe a "turned down" bolt is needed with either configuration, or you won't be able to open the bolt to eject your casing and chamber another round. On my mosin I settled for a longer eye relief scope; like about 10-13" eye relief. My scope is mounted on the rear sight base, so it's not over the ejection port and can't interfere with the bolt operation. I love the scope and have 2 of them, now, but I don't think it's a good choice for a mosin, without some modifications. Talk to a local gunsmith about options. Also, you can often find mosin "turned down " / bent handle bolts on line. Hope this helps ( Sorry if it was a bit long).

The top attachment tab is designed to fit precisely into the routed-out area on top of the Mosin-Nagant stock. Which means you would have to rout out a similar recess on your stock for it to possibly work. Seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth even if you could make it work--which I doubt. I would go with a slip-on recoil pad instead where you're given the precise dimensions of the pad.

The eye relief is ~ 4 inches, depending on magnification. So what I believe you need is a long eye relief scope or a red dot. That will give you the proper eye relief. I hope that helps you sir.

I don't know, I have a Nagant but have not tried the sight tool on it. Sorry I can't be of more help. My opinion is it won't work on the Nagant.

The mosin nagant is hard to mount a regular scope on due to the straight bolt handle. A scout/pistol scope mounted from the mosin rear sight base is much more convenient than trying to mount in the normal scope position. The short answer: pistol scopes have greater eye relief

it has a really long eye relief, but if your mosin scope is mounted in front of the bolt thats a bit iffy. But there are options for mounting over the bolt in which case it should be more than fine

I mounted it to my .357 mag blackhawk and it is quite a nice scope. The scope has a long eye relief which works great for hand guns. The mosin nagant normaly has the scope mounted more forward where a longer eye relief is needed. Hope this helped

To whom it may concern. Do not buy this scope. Despite what I said in other reviews I have come to find this thing to be a POS. It broke very soon after a few rounds. I sent it back and they replaced it and that one broke as well. You will need to spend at least $140 to get a long eye relief scope that will stand up to the Mosin. Hope this helps. Doc

I haven't my scope mount jig yet, but purchased it for installing scopes on Mauser rifles. A Mosin Nagant has a very different receiver, so I'd be surprised if it would work.

No, it does not have unlimited eye relief. I do shoot with both eyes open without any problem.

yes it should but im not sure if the eye relief for you will be correct.... the scope could possibly be to far forward.

Yes. The scope has plenty of eye relief for the .308 or 7.62x51 mounted on a bolt action style rifle. I have mine mounted to a .308 Remington 700.

It depends on the gun not the stock. Most mosin nagants were made only for iron sights and only certain sniper variations allow for a scope. If you buy a bent handle for the bolt you can mount a scope but it WILL require gunsmithing, some guys make a kit for a long eye relief scope that you can replace the iron sights with but it looks hella stupid and isnt as good as paying for the bent bolt and having a gunsmith attach and mount a scope. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

I found the eye relief to be terrible for my natural cheek weld on my AR 15. I took it off and bought a new scope. I don't think you wouold have full field of vision at 2.5-3" of eye relief.

I'm not sure on the Russian I have a Yugoslavic one works on mine , seeing your iron sights really depends on your stock I can but its a little hard I took the wood stock off mine and but a fiberglass one on the cheek rest makes it a little tough to still see

Eye relief on the Redfield is 3 to about 4.5 inches. It is a scope that needs to be mounted over the bolt and action and requires installation of a mount. I have scopes on two Mosins. The rifle with a Redfield scope uses an ATI mount. This also requires a bolt modification. On the other rifle, I installed a Rock Solid mount and purchased a used Burris Scout Scope. The scout scope is good for quick target acquisition and maybe 50 yard range. Many people use a NCStar Pistolero, long eye relief scope on their 91/30s. A properly mounted Redfield will shoot 100 yards well all day long.
