that looks like a Finn M39. There is a lot of 7.62 x 54R
about, 30-06 is getting somewhat dear and hard to find.
I like my 03A3 a lot and the sights are wayyy better than the ones on my Kar98K.
Does the rear sight show meters, or arshins?
So, would a Mosin be a good rifle for a rifle “newbie”? Or would the Springfield, Mauser, Enfield or perhaps an M1 be a better choice?
Feel free to PM me with suggestions, tips, etc.
