My 2 cents.
Ok my 1938 Mosin shoots realy good (1 inch groups from the bench @ 100yds) are the norm. It has had a trigger job making it a 2lb pull as oposed to the 19 plus lb trigger it had when I got it. I bought it as kind of a joke with a buddy because it was to cheep to pass up when we found nice ones. Now it is no match for my pre 64 .308 win featherweight, or some of my other toys. In fact I'm sure my 92 Krag and my 1903 Springfield will out shoot it. That said it does shoot good enough to be fun. If someone needed a cheep rifle with cheep ammo to take to the range, or hunt coyote to deer sized game with there is nothing wrong with one. So I don't think it is overated. Just misunderstood and bashed by folks who are kind of snobish.
