I saw three Moisin Nagant rifles made in Finland (by sako?) based on Russian actions. That from wiki and what the dealer told me. two are olympic or target rifles one is a sniper variant. All three have massive stocks, long barrels and globe front and aperture rear sight. The so-called sniper has a small scope mounting block on the receiver. Other wise they all look about the same. The sniper had a slightly different style front globe.
I saw one similar rifle on a youtube video that seemed to be holding in the 1moa ballpark. He said he was shooting 311 bullets which sounds wrong?
There seems to be confusion around bore diameter and 762x53 vs 762x54. I dont know what these are. The seller was saying they are 308 bore.
I like the sniper, but; two major issues. No scope mount and none for sale on the whole www. And old sales seem to be north of $500! The second problem is $1700 price. I guess its a 90% gun, honest wear. Seems nuts high?
I looked in the Blue Book and cannot find either of these.
I dont know if I even want one, but; it is new and it caught attention. It seems like the worlds most unlikely target rifle. Made in 1977! Really, not 1877 but 1977!
