[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1642110, member: 7157"] For $300, you'll be hard-pressed to find anything that fits your bill, unless you go with a Mosin Nagant 91/30 for $100. Then get a scout mount that replaces the rear sight ([B]no[/B] drilling or tapping required) and slap a cheap scope on the rifle to stay within your budget. Even then, you're not likely to end up with a MOA rifle, unless you get very lucky and acquire a tack-driving 91/30. Now if you're willing to go to $400 for your budget, you can get a Swiss K31 for under $300, put an aluminum St. Marie scope mount (Swiss Products, from Brownells) on it for $65, and find a cheap scope and rings. Then you'll have an incredibly accurate rifle, though the ammo is pretty pricey. [/QUOTE]
