Great video! I have a NPZ PU 3.5×22 MOSIN NAGANT 80 Years Special Edition. This was newly produced in Russia for the 80th anniversary in a limited edition of 400 pieces. I'm very lucky to have one of these and now I know how to use it. Thank you 👍🏻
WooHoo!! I've been looking for a good explanation of range estimation using the milliradian system for a while now. Thank you for an excellent start. Prayer requests?? OUR COUNTRY, AND THE PEOPLE IN IT!!
Dude that’s so cool! Love the simple explanation. I just picked up a repro from Bering Optics and their diagram and everything just frustrated me because they didn’t explain mils/Miladrians. They just switched from 0.7meters for the space between horizontal posts, to 2 Mils for the post width. This now makes perfect sense. For me the scope is already genius because you dial it in like iron sights. Modern scopes with the whole MOA business has never made sense to me and this seems less intuitive, but simpler to learn and master. Can’t wait to get it mounted to my 91/30 and go from there!
Nina Petrova Did an interview just before she died on May 1st. 1945. She used Arshin as her form of measurement. She had a line etched into the base of her stock just below the scope that she "Herself" Carved into it that was exactly the width of 1.5 Meters. She explained that the cone on the middle reticle was the width of a man at 550 meters. she knew at that range only an upper torso shot could be done. and she judged the wind by a piece of ribbon tied to her scope base. She was credited with 122 kills by the Soviet government. She was posthumously awarded the Order of Glory 1st class on 29 June 1945, making her one of only four women to be awarded all three classes of the award. Pure skill!
The gap in between horizontal lines should fit 90cm at hundred meters therefore the size of target in cm times the number the object fits in the gap over 0.9 should give you the range in meters. The dials per each point equal to 2.5 cm at 100 meters
@@Schrodingers_kid he is correct because you typically battle zero your mosin nagant for 400 meters. So you actually would have to aim down on him. Holding over you would shoot above and past him. 250 meters is very short range.
Those aren't interchangeable. Millimeter is a unit measure length, MILS are like ° on a compass but more precise and a target of one MIL length is 1m at 1000m distance. That's why the math explained here works which is not a secret or exclusive to the Mosin. If at 1000m a target of 1m length take up one mil on a scope then a 1m length target at 500m will take up two. 1*1000/1 = 1000, 1*1000/2 =500. Interestingly this is so simple and can be done with anything that you know the MILS of so in the east German ground forces (LaSK) they would use random objects and even fingers that they knew the approximate thickness in Mils of to measure distances to certain objects. Hope this was helpful
Wouldn’t it be better if you just measure an average man height at known distances and mark your elevation dial for quick reference. The Russians marked the dial so zero could be quickly regained. 🤔
If the Vertical post covers the target it is 110 m if the target fills 1/2 the post it is 230 m the PU scope is set in Russian units not European if a sniper had to sit with pencil and paper or calculator he would be useless worse he would be dead ! paper targets are fine but a Sniper isn't shooting at paper nor paper at him.
Great video!

Great video as always Big Sam! It is so interesting to see how such a simple looking scope hides such secret ways to range stuff.
Wow thanks for the lesson. Just picked up a Swedish Mauser with one of these scopes.
Great overview of the Mosin scope qualities
Amazing info, yhabjs fir sharing Big Sam! Definitely makes the scope way more useful!
Ammmmazing .... thanks maan !! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Interesting. what is the furthest distance you have shot your Mosin?
Prob 15 miles back when they called him chris Kyle. Or 22 miles back when he shot and missed a bird in a tree
Great information Sam, Thanks!
500/7 =71. the target would be 71meters away.
This would be handy for dayz
👀👀👀👀👀
really hoping to get a pu sniper and scope some day so i can try it out :)
:0
Can i install another type of scope in this mount?
literally how a rangefinder is coded.
Thank you sir!
Thank you for the video but at 250 yards holdovers are essentially nonexistent
Could you tell more,please?
Sounds useful

@@Robert53area Thank you!
Thank you. Very informative.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the informative video. Next time I’d consider having a handicapped child or adult with no thumbs do your illustrations.
I guess it's not "mills" but actual "Millimeters"
yeah im guessing he heard someone refer to it as mills as that's the slang term i guess
@@danshady09 yes, the manual refers to it as "mills"

They're not millimeters, it's milliradians.

Well this shit is still used in Ukraine
