The triggers are pretty terrible. Repeatability is very difficult. It's the primary reason MOA opens on these rifles. They were good buys at < $200. Maybe $250. At higher prices you can buy new something which shoots better and has a better trigger. Likewise, the days of cheap Czech/Russian ammo are gone too. If you're paying modern ammo prices and you're paying for a good rifle, IMOHO, a Mossin becomes a shit purchase at anything over $250.

Agreed. They were my first large caliber rifles but I agree. Sometimes I want to sell them but it's hard for me to let go any gun once I have it

Used to be like $75 at Big 5. Absolute trash rods but goddamn they shoot.

Yeah, like fuck mosins. Under $100 is my limit on those. We need to roll back all the shitty stuff they did to end the cheap ammo and gun imports, I had a C&R license but let it lapse when prices got too high to make it worthwhile.
