That is so close to what I was thinking with my Enfield project it is scary.
I was even thinking about the synthetic ATI stock.
I might have the scope on the mosin over the bolt unless i is possible to clip feed them(I don't know much about them).

Being able to get huge boxes of surplus ammo and even cheap sniper ammo is sure a good excuse to go with a Mosin. Plus that is probably a 300$ project.

I went and read the article and it was very good. He went a lot farther than I thought and had to buy a couple different scope bases so it was more like a 500$ project but still quite cheap. I was thinking surplus FMJ ammo might work well for when you don't want to destroy to much of the hide. I have been considering a Savage in .223 so I can shoot gophers and coyotes etc and use milsurp ammo.
Coyote fur from the winter is warm and great camo.
