I gotta disagree with you on the Mosin Nagant Gunny. If you're talking about the generic Fleet Farm Mosins, no argument. You could get a good one but don't count on it. The Finnish Mosins, on the other hand, are another story. The Finns took the Soviet mosins, replaced and floated the barrels, lightened the triggers, and shimmed the actions. The Finnish M39's were spec'ed to shoot 1.3" at 150 meters or they never left the armory. They, along with the Swedish mausers and the Swiss K31's were considered by many to be the most accurate rifles of the era.
