Went out to the range again today, brought both, my 91/30 and my M44 Molot. Wanted to try hitting a 12oz bottle at 50 yards out.. Been mostly shooting at the big sticky targets, and I can't say that I've been all that accurate with them.. M44 went first and I did not expect that I would actually be able to hit anything, definitely didn't expect that it would be on my first shot. Next I set up two targets and tried it again.. Two shots - two dead bottles.. I was really surprised.. Kept setting them up and they kept popping on me.. I tried hitting them with the 91/30 and it was nowhere near as accurate. Decided to give it a little R&R for the day and went back to the M44.. Here's what it looked like to a fly on the backstop.
Not sure why, but the forum won't let me embed the video, so here is a link to it instead, if you'd like to see..

Started to lose my accuracy a little towards the end, so I won't write beginner's luck off just yet. Will have to take another couple of trips to figure it out, but I was wondering.. Are 50 yard open sight shots on a target of that size difficult to place? I don't have much to compare it to, and I've seen some of the members' range reports on this forum that are more than impressive..
This is the rifle I used today..
