amadeus: I have a few Finn "refurbished" 91/30's and they're nothing special. Some of the Sovieticon refurbs are pretty decent with new pieces added as required and decently bedded (at least in the few I've owned). As an example, I have a refurbed '27 upgraded Dragoon that I got for a whopping $200 and used as a range gun along with playing with the bedding. Shot some of the best groups at 100 yards I have shot with a milsurp with the bedding it came from refurb with. Had fun trying various combinations of shims, wraps, etc but only improved it marginally. It would make an excellent repro sniper. Just try to make sure the bore in whatever you're looking at is good or better!
