I been thinking about using mosin action to build a "sniper rifle". the round is great and cheap. I originally tried to keep it as close to stock and added a Jmerc scope mount and a scope . I also bent the bolt by a gunsmith it looks cool but shoots like crap. i mean its great for the purpose it was made and that's being simple, durable and accurate enough to hit center mass at long distances. i seen some chop jobs, bubba guns and some real nice sportirized mosins. they look great with custom barrels and scopes but do they shoot like a "sniper rifle" should. especially when you dump $1000 in to a $149.99 rifle. I was considering going and getting a Howa 1500 in 243 but i think it would be really cool to custom make your own. I guess the question is can you make a mosin nagant in to a precision rifle capable of MOA and how much will that cost
