What is /k/'s opinion on god king of sniping, Simo Hayha.

Eats both snow and explosive rounds. Hell of a man right there.

My most recent purchase was a M39 and the recoil kicks the shit out of me. How did these ppl shoot these for extended periods of combat? I mean I know their lives depended on it, but am I just being a pussy? Also I'm sure they wore more layers that helped cushion recoil.

I'm sure that when you're getting shot at and the adrenaline is pumping,you don't give two fucks about recoil.

Unless you're a literal skellington, the recoil of 7.62x54R shouldn't be too much for you. The M39 is a decently heavy rifle; I think you're probably not shouldering it correctly; keep the butt tight into the pit of your shoulder; don't leave any space at all for it to move backwards.

I've got an m28/30 which is what Simo used. Heavy, but it's a nice piece.

feels bad

He goes to show you don't need a scope to wreck people with a bolt-action.

How is he a sniper when his rifle never had a scope?

>>30452801
He's a manlet

He's pretty frigging boss, tbqh.

>>30452850
you're being a huge pussy.
I got M44 as my first fun, and by all means it should kick way more thanks to its shorter barrel, but I really don't consider it that bad either. A shotgun with magnum slugs is way worse.

how the world's moving at the moment, I just might end up doing just that in the near future, if SHTF.

Feels bad man, but someone hafta do it.
