That would be an M27rv.
Finnish M27 carbine. Exceedingly rare today.
Less than 3000 were made, and only 300 were in Finnish inventories post WW2.

Javelin perhaps, biathlon no.
I seem to remember a number of M28-30s were made for the World Shooting Championships.
" M/28-57: A biathlon 7.62×54mmR version.
M/28-76: A special marksmanship and target rifle for continuation training and competition, produced in two different versions by the Finnish Army. They were built from modified M/28-30 and M/39 rifles.[34] "
From; ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosin–Nagant ) Avery good summation of the Mosin Nagant.
" The m/28-30 would gain its fame on two occasions during the late 1930’s and 1940’s. With the World Shooting Championships being held in Helsinki in 1937, SAKO was ordered to produce m/28-30 rifles for the competition. As each participant would be using the m/28-30 rifle in the event, over 440 rifles were ordered and produced to exacting standards to ensure that each rifle was identical. Prior to 1966, the shooting championships were held using the host country’s service rifle in a center fire caliber. For the 1937 championships the m/28-30 of the images (Civil Guard) was chosen over the Army’s m/27 because of its excellent quality, adjustable sights and exceptional accuracy. These rifles were marked with a special indicator of “MM” prior to the serial number of the rifle and marked with a small brass plaque on the right side buttstock. The serial number block that was used for the championship was between 48791 and 49467. Of these rifles 83 of them were picked to be used in the competition, from serial numbers 48963 to rifle number 49466. "

referencing the 6,5X54R rifles I suspect. The ammo is around, but scarce, the rifles are around, one below at Salter at the moment, saw one at a gunshow in AB in the last few months as well.
