Any advantage either way for the Mosin M44 or 91/30?

I saw a M44 at Gander Mtn, a gun store in Knoxville, but the M44 had a very weird action, that jams sometimes, and would take alot of practise to get the hang of.

I have a 91/30 and an M38. As I understand it, the M38 is pretty much the same as the M44, just without the bayonett. That thing kicks like a scalded mule, so I wouldn't recommend doing much bench shooting with it unless you have winter clothes on or a slip-on recoil pad.
I have no idea if it's true or not, so take it for what it's worth, but I've heard the M44s somehow shoot much better groups with the bayo extended.
Good luck withwhichever Russian you end up with!

but honestly these mosin nagants really dont kick as hard as somany seem to think. I dont think it kicks any harder than a 308 or 270.
