I'm pretty sure that a decent marksman could put bullets in the bull's eye at 100 yd with this gun. As to the counterbored rifles... mostly the counterbores are done because the gun has a damaged crown. Usually this is because they were cleaned improperly. It is certainly better to find guns which aren't counterbored but plenty of counterbored rifles shoot well.
I plan on finding a Mosin that is interesting -- this one fellow on youtube (marshalzhukov) found an ex-sniper 91/30 at Big 5, with filled holes in the side of the receiver and other evidence of being scoped. This particular gun has quite a bit of collector's value. That would be an interesting thing to find. A gun with a laminated stock (all of these are post war) would be interesting. And, lastly, a gun in mostly new condition would be interesting to find.
Thank you for your replies and advice on picking Mosins.
