I have been doing research for about a month, mostly on the Mosin Nagant series of rifles. I've narrowed my choice down to the Finn M-39 and the site I'm going to buy it from as well, www.gunsnammo.com. I know hes a very reputable M-39 dealer and I want to jump on one those deals before he runs out. I was leaning towards one of the antique M-39s, but I am hesitant because this will be my first rifle. So my question is what to expect.
Almost everything I've read said these things are exceptionally accurate and this dealer is claiming that they have "bright shiny bores". But when you can visibly see pitting on some of the parts it kinda frightens me. Aesthetically speaking, I'm not expecting much and I know the gun isn't going to be able to shoot incredibly long distances while maintaining accuracy. I'm really just looking for a fun manly rifle, that I can shoot some good groupings with, at around 100 yards. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance and happy holidays!
