Simo didn't use a scope on his rifle

[@Wolfsschanze99]

Yep & he got all his kills in just under 100 days until he himself fell victim to a Russian sniper & was severely wounded in the face, he lived until he was 96.

[@DreamyReme]

But he used a mosin tho not even the standard issue rifle

[@sirboomsalot4902]

@@DreamyReme The M28/30 was the standard issue rifle for the Civil Guard

[@coopsxxi5594]

I can't believe he only used an iron sight that's insane

[@loganbeedy5950]

He did it because he knew that a scope could cast a glare and give away his position, he actually found and killed Russian snipers because of their scope glint

[@paranoiayeti2672]

Top Finnish sniper smh top sniper to ever bloody exist

[@silvadic2207]

Actually, it’s speculated that he got 542. However, it is confirmed to be at 505. If I remember, there had to be an officer and another eye witness along with the sniper to confirm the kill. I may be wrong, but my memory isn’t the best.

[@torjejohannessen6952]

Conformed is 512 but it is also possible that he got another 250 unconfirmed kills with a sub machine gun. But either way a truly deadly and humble man.

[@100radsbar]

What do you mean? :) I am from Denmark, I own 3 Mosins (1933 Tula Hex Receiver, cost: 135€. A Izhevsk marked 91/59, cost: 150€, and a Hungarian Mosin from 1952, Cost 160€). Bolt actions are the easiest to get in Europe (If I remember correctly Britain's gun laws are horrendous, but I still think they can get bolt action rifles). Semi automatic rifles are difficult to get in the EU/Europe.

fun thing about Simo Häyhä - when my sons were in their early teens, they would some times talk about him....like they would talk about other viking warriors....(And THAT is good company).

[@timomastosalo]

The mountain clips are not from Finland. You can also see the difference of the troops on the mountains: they are in their grey or green outfits, whereas the Finns used their white camouflage. And sturdier winter hats than just the peaked caps.

[@RickRoss440]

Excellent observation I believe the mountains are most likely from Norway. Finland on the other hand is very flat with few mountains but lots of evergreen forest (ie perfect for snipers since the enemy must cross vast stretches of open terrain surrounded by thick evergreen trees)

[@Alexandros.Mograine]

Its funny, because the dude really did give a fair price right away. Im glad this guy didnt try to haggle too much. That will sell for more abroad.

That's no more a sniper rifle than any other battle rifle used by a major combatant during WWII. The sniper variant of the M/28-30 was the M/33 with Zeiss Zielvier 4X rifle scopes. This is not one of them.

[@timomastosalo]

The Soviets did actually win the Winter War, just it was a Pyrrhic victory. Meaning they lost a lot of soldiers, and even equip. Death ratio was about 10:1 - mainly because the Soviets used an old military doctrine originating from before the machine gun age: so a full frontal attack to machine guns moving them down by the dozins in every attack. Some cover came from the tanks, but once the infantry was shred to pieces, the isolated tanks bacame victims of Finnish tank destroyer teams. The Soviet artillery was a big killer of the Finnish soldiers - not sure if they caused Finnish casualties the most. But so many battles the Soviets lost that after the war Finland had more heavy equipment and infantry firearms than before it. So lots of Finnish arms were Made in USSR. Well, even the standard rifle of the Finnish soldiers even before the Winter War was a modified Mosin-Nagant from WWI time, some made in the late 19th century even. Improved sights, maybe the barrel too. The resulting gun was more accurate than the original. Not all of those surplus weapons are likely from the Winter war of 1939-1940: Finland fought against the Soviets a second war in 1941-1944. It's called Continuation war, because it's just ending the seize fire of the spring 1940 - no peace treaty existed. So the war continued. That time Finland did attack, mainly to gain back the lost territories. It was done alongside with Germany attacking Soviet Union. Well, once again the Soviets won, and Finland lost additional ground. So yeah, as an afterthought: should have left undone. Just in 1941 it looked like Stalin was planning a new attack on Finland, so Finns thought better take the initiative. In that sense the attack was understandable: 'Let's hit first, of they're gonna come again'.

[@jakea8483]

Wow combat dealers got it wrong at 2:54 he never used a scope

its a m39 mosin, a finnish variant. It is different since they were not mass produced like the russian mosins.

DO NOT come here with your fake figures since i believe your opinion is that no one could have done such a feat using only iron sights but Simo was able to and the archives of both sides in the conflict back those numbers up 100%.
