They're heavy clunkers, built ridiculously simple. The trigger isn't fit for a nintendo light gun. And yet, they're fun to toy with and can shoot very well. At around $100 shipped to your door, a guy can have as many as he wants. The brown bears will do the trick on game. I personally would shy from the scout mount. I'm not speaking from experience, but it seems like something that could easily lose its zero. It may be a cheap gun, but IMO....if you're gonna scope the gun and use it much, go ahead and get it drilled/tapped. Those ATIs would be a fine upgrade. I'd rather go with a Boyd. Just because they're cheap doesn't mean you should get the cheapest parts. Remember, the mosin was used as a sniper rifle. It's very capable of accurate shooting....and the fact that you made it happen so cheaply will make you laugh. It does for me!
