Will this target withstand a steel core round from a mosin nagant?

Shot it with several rounds of 7.62x54R surplus (steel core) at 100 yards . It left a tinny dent about the size of a pencil lead

Haven't shot anything heavier that 5.56....YET....however I intend to. I think that as long as you keep the target angled on the chains as recommended and shoot from a reasonable distance....100-150 yards....I'd say it will hold up. I intend to shoot it with 30-06 and 308 soon.

I'm not sure, but there is a disclaimer not to shoot steel core rounds as they will dent/deform the target and increase chances of ricochet, etc. I haven't shot any steel core at mine and don't plan on it. Check with the manufacturer.

I shot about 60 rounds of steel core 7.62, 300 rounds of 30-06, 200 rounds of 308, and 300 rounds of 223 at it this weekend and there is barely a dent in it. So it will take steel core just fine.

I use it for shotguns so I have no idea weather it will fit on a Mosin nagant, but I'm pretty sure it will. And for the Question about is it will get high enough, it absolutely will be.

Hi Jim: I have a Mosin Nagant 7.62x54r Rifle compared to your rifle it is a cannon. The scope is Rock solid on my rifle and it will on yours too. Make sure that you have a good solid scope mount base and good rings choose some rings that aren't too high from the receiver. Tighten everything good after you adjusted for proper eye relief and you should have no problems. Have fun at the range Wayne

The shooting target holds up great to anything. I bang it with steel penetrator rounds all the time, just repaint with cheap white spray paint. What is the weak point is the black frame. It gets all the ricochets and it is only stamped metal. Mine has not crumpled yet but is in rough shape. All in all I would definitely recommend, it is a good target and is fun to shoot.

The short answer is this target is a heap and will not stand up to a beating. After two sessions of shooting with .22 caliber, parts of the target began flying off and the target paddles would not return to their original positions.

I would think it would be just as good as for a mosin nagant. It works and works well.

I have one on my Mosin Nagant and it holds 7.62x54R quite snug. It should keep your 30-30 rounds secure. I love mine.

These mounts will only work on a gun with a Dovetail cut receiver. I don't think the Mosin Nagant has the dovetail on it.

I would think so, the steel is a quarter inch thick, and since it will roll when hit, I think it would be be hard to penetrate. It's a solid piece of steel for the money. But honestly I don't know much about the 308. I'm shooting it with a 22.

Probably won't spin the target, but will make noise when you hit it. be careful of ricochet though!

yes it will. It is all steel, it flips open or close without a lock button.its is not bad for a range day, but would recommend something different if using as a le or military.

Yes it will as it is mounted on my customized Mosin Nagant. The cross hairs are good and it is a well built scope.

If used with a Brassstacker mount, yes. http://brassstacker.com/mosin-nagant/scout-scope-mount/

It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are not using pointed pellets. You should still expect to dent it up pretty good on misses. A couple of thoughts. First off, depending on the make of the pellet rifle, many manufacturers will list a FPS that can only be achieved by using alloy pellets (i.e. extremely light, and therefore less accurate). Therefore, you might getting more like 1000fps at the muzzle using lead pellets. My favorite target pellet is the RWS Meisterkugeln and it runs at 8.2grains. With that pellet this trap should be okay, but expect it to make a distinct sound when hit. I have one of these, and I put a rolled up small towel in the back to keep it less noticeable by my neighbors. It shouldn't be a problem as long as you are not using pointed pellets.

Yes... At least mine did.... FYI... If using this on a Mosin Nagant don't close the bolt behind it... That will make it less accurate

Probably won't knock the targets down or reset the targets. I've used a .22 pellet rifle with mixed results. Of course the targets still make a 'cling' sound when the pellets make a strike, even if the target doesn't go down. This target works best with a .22 caliber rim fire cartridge.

Yes it will. The actual targets will but the frame will not. I have shot at mine with .22, .40, 9mm and .223.
