You can pick up a very nice rifle with a lot of history. The Mosin Nagant. The M91/30 is a great piece. Shoots the 7.62 x 54 (available as surplus rounds). The iron sights (may read archins(russian yards) or yards) but equals about 1.4miles. LOL. Most need drilled and tapped to add a sight rail though.
The Mosin Nagant can be found at most sporting good stores from $80 to $200. The main differences will be the barrel type and the round size. The octagon barrel is best but doesn't really matter.
The rounds are 20 for 8bucks.
