Another sniper enters the fold
I have been looking for one of these several years now so when this one became available while I was on vacation I moved fast to secure it for my collection.
It's a Finn captured 36 Tula PE sniper rifle that was de-scoped before export. It is a mix master of both Izhevsk and Tula parts but the bore is bright with good rifling. I have a nice Ukrainian reproduction PE scope to reside on it while I attempt to track down an original PE scope and mount for it. It will go nicely with my other 1936 Mosins.

Very nice. I quite fancy a Nagant sniper jobby my self.
Re: Another sniper enters the fold
Nice addition. If that rifle could talk it would be an interesting story I bet.

Thanks Gentlemen, guess now I need to start looking for a "T" for the collection.

Is it drilled on both sides of the reciever is that normal.

For a top mount PE sniper it is, here is a pic of one with the scope mounted.dhtaxi wrote:Is it drilled on both sides of the reciever is that normal.

That's an interesting way to mount the scope. I think I like that better than the side mount. Are the mounts difficult to get hold of.

Re: Another sniper enters the fold
The bases are rare as hens teeth, mounts are almost as hard, and scopes are even easier still, but that said if I can find it all it will be between $2500/$3500 US. Side mounted snipers ( PEMs) where a much better rifle as zeroing it was easier than the top mounts. I have a very nice ukranian scope mount and base I have been holding onto for a couple of years now that will reside on this rifle until a legit set up comes along.dhtaxi wrote:That's an interesting way to mount the scope.
