I've owned 2 Nagants, M44 and M39 and they were both great shooting rifles. I paid about $80.00 for them a few years back and I really liked them, but traded them for a paratrooper SKS. They were accurate and the the ammo was really cheap back then.

I have a Yugo Mauser too and it is a nice shooting accurate rifle. A lot of guys use them for deer hunting around here. I'd pick the Mauser over the Nagants because the quality seems a little better, but you can't go wrong with either. For the money they can't be beat.
