OK, so I see that Mosins are inexpensive and I'm willing to bite on a decent shooter in excellent condition, am I missing anything with these rifles or is it just that they are cheap/reliable/sturdy utility guns?
Perusing the Mosin websites, don't care for a collector piece but do want something NRA Excellent-ish that can shoot somewhere under a few inches at 100yds. and isn't all scarred up with re-stamps and grindings. Turned down bolt looks like a bonus but don't exactly need a 'sniper' rifle.
Suggestions? Seems like anything Finnish has some quality to them. Local PDX sources? Preferred models? Rifles, not carbines.
Or, am I wasting my time?
