Did you get your sniper yet redhat10?

Awesome! The Sestroryetski is pretty far down on my 'wish I had one' list but after seeing yours I think I might bump it up!

That's a bargain at half the price!! I'm in!

Its simple. Dont read about snipers on forums or learn about all the things that makes them the real deal. Just buy one from the couple of places that sell real snipers for $700 plus dollars plus shipping and youre done. Anything else is a crap shoot that offers no guarantee of success. :2cents: ......

I just love mosin research!

Here is the scope my sniper has...thanks Ratnik (Alex) for the source picture.

Thanks for the point in the right direction zeebill! Good post with Balkan info Good news for me. I placed a bid on this one weeks ago and never though I'd get it based on what the average 91/30 refurb is going for....I am in it for $216 before the shipping. I'll post more pics when I get it. 37.jpg...

Yours and mine have the same attributes. I havent seen any with the scrubbed scope numbers like ours but Im not expert either by any means... Mine is also still sticky with cosmoline. I bought mine from an online auction in Michigan. The auction house was TERRIBLE. They didnt ship when they said the...

Where are you getting your sniper from redhat?

Mine has a low, flat spot there as well, left hand forward on the chamber.

Is yours a CAI import also?

It is CAI import marked. Im not familiar with these. Can anyone give me a little more history? The only thing that is out of sorts is that the scope number has been scrubbed from what I can see. If you need better pics let me know. My cell phone takes great pictures of everything but mosins... :fac...

Awesome! Can I go in halfsies on the Powerball ticket?? Oh no...did I just say 'halfsies'??

This sniper still has the greasy paper on the knobs and is quite greasy all over. Very dark finish. Sorry the pics are a little shakey...
