It will depend on the design of the scope, and the range at which you are shooting. The term click usually means a click of the scope setting knob, but it is also military slang for kilometer (1000 meters)- as is "How far is it to the new position? A short march- maybe 3-4 clicks.""

What is the longest confirmed sniper kill with a mosin nagant 9130?

The Mosin Nagant model 91 was adapted by the Tsarist Imperial Russian Army in 1891, and fought it's first major war during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Sniper kills, like aerial combat kills (dog-fights between war planes) are OFTEN exaggerated. As any real hunter will state; game (targets-aircraft, enemy soldiers, etc.) are often killed and the hunter/sniper/pilot never knew it; or the hunter/sniper/pilot often thought he killed his target and it turns out he never even hit it. Often times, more than one projectile (bullet) is flying towards the target, and multiple snipers/hunters/pilots CLAIM the same kill. This was one of the main reasons gun camera's were installed on fighter planes during WW2, continuing on thru the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Pilots will exaggerate...PHOTOS WON'T NORMALLY LIE. In defense of the Snipers/Hunters/Pilots, they often reported what they believed to be true during the "excitement" of the kill; thus the term "exaggeration." The US Army's XM-21 (M14 rifle) Sniper Rifle (officially called the sniper system) in Vietnam, used the 3 X 9 adjustible range finding Redfield scope for daytime use and had a maximum effective range of approximately 900 meters. The US Marines used a bolt action hunting rifle. Keeping in mind, the principle of "exaggeration", see website on Soviet sniper Valsily Zaytsev, who used the 1891 Nagant rifle in WW2.

Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison of the British Army's Household Cavalry has two confirmed kills at a range of 2,475 m (2,707 yd), and made with a L115A3 Long Range Rifle chambered for the .338 cal. Lapua Magnum.Simo Hayha of Finland achieved 500+ kills in one hundred days of fighting.Vasili Zaitsev of USSR achieved 225 kills in World War 2, and went on to train snipers responsible for a further total of 3000+ kills.Carlos Hathcock achieved 93+ kills; held the world record for the longest confirmed kill for 35 years; he is also noted for having shot an enemy sniper through the scope, ironically as that sniper would have been about to do the same to him.Various snipers - as noted above - have achieved extreme long range confirmed kills in the modern era, but these are as much a matter of luck as they are of skill.

Is the distance of 1000 yards or one click in map reading the same as one click on a sniper rifle scope?

No, the term "click" in map reading typically refers to moving one milliradian, which may not directly translate to the adjustment on a sniper rifle scope. The distance of 1000 yards on a map would generally be greater than one click adjustment on a sniper rifle scope, which typically adjusts for a much smaller increment, such as 1/4 MOA or 1/10 mil.
