Here's conflicting advice----I had two Mosin snipers and one Cadet and sent them all three down the road.
I found it impossible to maintain head position on the Mosin with the high mounted PU scope and could actually shoot better with iron sights.
With the Cadet---could not figure an inexpensive way to crimp a case mouth over a heeled bullet and I got tired of cleaning unburnt powder out of the action.
Of the two, the Cadet probably had more going for it----I mean it might have been worth working through the loading problem---but the Snider and the big Martinis also have loading issues and three was just too much work.
