I like the Mosins I have a M-44 that I love I think, I want a 91/30 in sniper setup with that soviet PU scope just looks so wicked.

Leatherface you are correct you need a Mosin they are not even a 100 bucks and the scout idea is a very noble cause, my dad just got one and already started to "scout" it he removed of bayonet and its lug also chopped the forestock and it already is a pound and a half or so less weight.
