That's a tough choice. I personally would go for the AZF. To me it has more history that the others.

the 1914 tula has matching numbers. none have import marks. there is also a 1904 Izhevsk that I don't have a pic of. all are in fair condition, kind of beat up.

If I couldnt buy them all, which you should as they all have unique qualities, I would go with the Westinghouse. It has a Fox Arms receiver.... :thumbsup:

The AZF and the Remington are probably the hardest to find of the 4. All 4 are good buys at $300.

I think this is one of only a handful I've seen posted so I never think to look for that mark.

#2 is a Finnish Model 91. Built from captured/purchased rifles. The Finns produced their own barrels and assembled the rest of the rifle from parts.

Ok, the NEW seems to have the most votes, especially conidering they are all the same price, so next is to get more pics of the rest of the rifles.

X2 agreed. Its a toss up between the remington, westinghouse, and the AZF marked Tikka.
