There was this little Russian fellow that came once with Manson's bunch. Igor or something like that. Brilliant and nice engineering fellow. He had a very well done custom 7.62x54R Mosin rifle. The weapon of Mother Russia as he said. Very powerful, for big bears said he. Well in the field, I think the corn patch, he potted a big old pig at point blank with the bear killer of Mother Russia. The hot took it between the eyes and just squealed and ran off! Probably more powder burned than mortally wounded. I figured at that angle it bounced off it's sloping skull, a wonder it did not knock it out cold, but there you are. It took a full magazine and more to finally get his hog. Igor was pretty reserved about the Mosin after that. Although he did recount the event with much expression and very big eyes! LOL I'm certain he's still telling the story.
