depending of condition, a PU scope sell for $200-$400 and the SVT model about $450-$500. At thoses price, many came in a PU mount. When i bought my SVT scope for my Tokarev, scope came in a PU mount but the scope turret still have the SVT calibration.Well it appears the $600 Mosin sniper deal is likely the sum of it's parts.
What is an original scope and mount worth btw????
I wish the Russian exporters did not stamp the scope serial numbers on the receivers. Why? Because now with all these in the market who will ever be able to tell an authentic one from this new batch.
It will be impossible to ever prove an original is actually legit, and will likewise ensure prices for Mosin snipers stay soft. Another sniper rifle that suffers from soft prices due to all the put togethers and fakes is the M1-D.
If mine does not shoot like a sniper it will be on the EE. I don't collect scopes.
From Russia With Love...nyet!
