Why? Because the ammo is expensive. And bolt action. Not good if the shtf.

Milsurp 7.62x54r is about 25 cents a round. Not bad for a centerfire rifle round.

In the SHTF scenario the Mosin is the weapon you give to the volunteer that shows up wanting to help. $150 rifle and ammo out the door. Tell him to shoot at the bad guys twice everyday from different locations and then go home. Will create complete havoc if just 10 guys do it one city.

Expensive ?? Bulgarian, in single spam cans, runs a bit over 20 cents a round.

And yes, I own one. 1943 Tula Arsenal. . .
