With a little work you can make a russian mosin nicer. A quick polishing of the bolt, and a washer and a spring tightens up the trigger. I have a 91/30 and a 91/59 and the 91/59s action is smooth and has a wonderful trigger.
mauser - in 7x57 - cant beat them for all around, lower 48 states...shop and you can find an Interarms Mark X for 350 thereabouts....just another 2c....
Depends on the type and manufacture. I found a good VKT M91 for around $300 and it has been sitting for a couple of weeks. I'm thinking about offering $50 less and seeing if I can get it.
That would be cool. There are tons of M48's on GB right now for $250 or less. I'm thinking about getting one of those and picking up a Mosin some other time.
I have 24 Mosins and they are my fun guns. I have 5 Swedish Mausers, and 2 Swiss K31 and they are my tack drivers. All 3 can be easily be reloaded. I reload 6.5x55 Swed but just shoot the standard Swiss military ammo in the k31s.
8mm mausers and the old 1903s will get their a$$e$ handed to them by either the Swed or Swiss on the range. Been there seen that in person.

Nuh, 1903 hold-up against M96s and K31s just fine ....

What are everyone's thoughts on the Enfield versus the other two?
Specifically the M4 model?
I know its .303 and harder to find ammo but it has one of the fastest bolt action times and is accurate.
Most of all it feeds from a removable magazine.
Is $400 too much for a good Enfield?

They can be found for $250-300
