The Mosin 91/30 PU was the most common Soviet sniper rifle of WW2, produced in massive numbers (388,000). It evolved from earlier M1891 variants using PE/PEM scopes, but the PU scope offered a more compact design. Despite attempts to adopt the semi-automatic SVT-40, its unreliability led back to the bolt-action Mosin for precision work. Modifications included a bent bolt and side-mounted scope base, with the PU scope featuring 3.5x magnification and a BDC.
