yeah, even just 5 years ago Russiancaptures were readily available for $199. now it's hard to find them under $250 and the ones that are usually have the swastikas peened.
from your original description, it sounds like a pretty good rifle. the only thing i can think of left to check would be the headspace, but again i wouldn't worry about it. of my 6 Russian capture 98ks 2 of them have very worn bores but still headspace fine.
