Russian M91/30 for $619.99 at Big 5

[bigdawg86]

I am not even in the market for one... Just had sticker shock when perusing Big 5

no, no, folks, this is all a big misunderstanding. The $619 includes airfare and accommodations for a tour of the arms factory and museum in Russia.

If anyone is considering one of these repro snipers, you can get a real 91/30 sniper for $7-800 from R Guns or one other supplier.

Yeah, I posted details about it earlier:

It's repro, and they're on crack for the price. If the sale price dropped to say... $400, I'd buy it

i looked at the one they have/had in ramona,ca.. it was bad job of removing wood around sight base as it had huge gap like they were not sure where mount was going to sit. it looked nice tho' and i also would probably pay maximum $400 but would rather have a real one from rguns for $800.

Viewed one at our local Big 5 in Fresno. Whomever cut the sight base area, marked it with a black sharpie. It still had the marks from the pen on the stock.

The one I looked at had a matching number on the scope mount. Does this mean the scope mount is original to the gun, or are the scopes and mounts reproductions? Also, the rifle was all matching numbers, no force matched #'s that I could see. Oh and this was at Big 5. Are the rifles original snipers, with repro scopes, or are they converted regular rifles also with straight bolts converted to bent?
