Any Thoughts

Found another Mosin for sale this time with pics...lol
Seems to be a complete one from the pic's, have two questions. ...would you buy sight unseen based on the pic's (have to have it shipped to me) and does it seem to be a fair price?

Re: 7.62 x 39 154 Grain SP

Thats a nice bear, love the way he's setup, met an ole fella at the local gun shop awhile back and he said this...PICK THE RIGHT BULLET, MAKE A GOOD SHOT, AND KEEP THE RANGE UNDER 200 YRDS, and you'll be fine....also heard of a 170gr HP in the 7.62x39 not sure on manufacturer,
