correct matching scope for my izhevsk 91/30

[Tango89]

Very convincing to who?

haha no I'm not that way inclined, I'm a hoarder

I bought this rifle when I was 17 and only after an afghan deployment have the money to turn it into what I originally wanted

I was talking more about the gap between the stock and barrel, i've heard people cork it to improve accuracy but mine doesn't have a gap...

Thinking about buying this one

PU 91/30 scope for sniper Mosin Nagant 91/30 1943

Made by Factory #297 NKV Yoshkar-Ola in 1943, #4318485. It has the original rifle and scope serial number on the mount but I'd rather use a repro mount because I doubt the zero for the original rifle is the same as mine. Plus the scope looks in good nick and doesn't have any post war refurbishing marks

Also what process did the old russian gunsmiths use to polish the receiver? I'm considering if this is a worthwhile task...
