I just ordered a Mosin from Westrifle this morning. I went with one of the $150 Mosin for my first. I have a good feeling another order will be going in for a $100 mosin.
If you are getting one for hunting, get Westrifle to pick one with a good bore. They will do that. Probably $130.
If it is for a survival gun, an M38 or M44. They are lighter, compact and if you miss the bear, the muzzle blast and flash will scare the crap out of them.
