Local sporting goods had them on sale for 79.99 a piece so I bought two. What a great old rifle. I still can't believe these little gems can be found in very good condition for well under a hundred bucks. They kick pretty hard, but I am very surprised at their accuracy, even with open sights.
The 2-91/30's and 2-440 round spam cans of 150 grain FMJ 80's Russian ammo cost me a grand total of 335 bucks including shipping of ammo. You can't beat that.
The two I got were made in 1942 in the Iszevsk Russian arsenal.
The ballistics of the 7.62x54R are similar to a .308 and I plan on using this old relic to hunt deer with next year.
