I was always partial to the M96 as far as accuracy goes. Heck, as far as just about anything goes. Flat-shooting son-of-a-guns. Operation is slick as owl grease. I love it when they go "snick".
Mosins can easily get into the 90's with surplus ammo at the MBA shoots. and thats with me shooting! my guns like the silver tip ammo but i can still get a 90 every now and then with the bulgarian ammo.
the swedes are a beaut to shoot. surplus ammo is all gone but reloads can be incredibly accurate.

Here ya go. Bent bolt, non matching, small ring, 7x57, DWM, Berlin, No Crest, No Grind marks. A member from the Milsurp forum says the serial number on the rifle fits the range and said something about the "bent" bolt should not match. It's doesnt. His concern was the stock. No markings on it anywhere. No carvings or initials either. Bore is dark but very good. Very accurate and groups well.
Sorry for pic quality. Please post your opinion. Oh and I paid less than $100 at pawn shop, guy said it's an 8 mm mosin.

It's gorgeous. If i remember they wanted $100, I offered 75, he says deal. When I was checking out I asked the girl about the 15% off all guns and she took that off too. And he threw in a box of 7.62x54R. One of my best deals.
Yeah that's a really nice rifle, Lurker.
I'm willing to bet that is a boer war mauser.
