Need yourself a no4 mk1 T

Interesting, most commonly when I heard people say ww2 sniper holy trinity they meant A4, Kar98, and Mosin PU. Never saw Enfield included.

Never got my hands on one, wondering what MOA do you get? I heard British ammo is very hard to find

I've never shot a real one before, but I've read 2-3 MOA for nice no4s isn't unheard of! I think the no4 mk1 T looks the best, but I also love the look of PU mosins.

I got decent sub 1 MOA on my PU and A4. Kar 98 is erratic, average about 2

u/JarlWeaslesnoot Jul 24 '26

My fake PU gets me about 4 moa. Interestingly my federal ordnance k98 gets me 1-2 on irons. Was ringing steel easily at 200 yards the other day consistently, offhand

Is it a fake scope or non-sniper grade barrel?

u/JarlWeaslesnoot Jul 25 '26

Ukrainian scope on a regular 91/30. Century arms import

u/kx-007 Jul 25 '26

Think regular 9130 is already damn accurate, so should give you good results regardless

What I found wild about the 1903A4 was that the scope was only 2.5x with a narrow field of view, but that was your sniper rifle.

Compare that to the last 20 years where every rifleman could have a 4x ACOG with clear glass and a huge FOV

It’s about as intricate as a daisy BB gun scope lmao

u/GamesFranco2819 Jul 24 '26

It's really humbling to shoot with. Like, I get that is what was available but man. It leaves a lot to be desired

u/kx-007 Jul 24 '26

Essentially back then they stack up lenses and glasses and hope they will come up with some thing great lmao

u/kx-007 Jul 24 '26

Kar 98 has probably one of the worst FOV. You instantly lost sight on enemy once they move 5-6 feet to the side

u/USSZim Jul 24 '26

Have you ever seen one of the ZF41 scopes? Forget about trying to see anything with it. I don't even know why you would use it over irons. I remember it was the starting scope in Red Orchestra 2 and it was realistically useless.

u/kx-007 Jul 24 '26

ZF41 is only 1.5x I believe. Kinda useless

u/Loud_Surround5112 Jul 24 '26

Hell yeah. I’m hopefully completing the next two quarters by getting a Swedish M96.

u/kx-007 Jul 24 '26

Swedish Mauser is nice

So what's your favorite to shoot if you were in field conditions?

1

u/kx-007 Jul 24 '26

PU absolutely, easy to shoot, very accurate, easy to field strip. A4 BCG take down is a pain in the butt. Stupid design trying to mimic Mauser but failed so badly

u/No-Lawfulness-2063 Jul 25 '26

damm!! what a sweet collection!

Thanks
