i have less than 600.00 in restoring that one, depends who is doing the work i guess, the scope was the most expensive part with the mount than anything, entire build and restoration i have about 575.00 in it, i am happy with that with the mint bore it has and all matching numbers. Like i said came from samco 100% genuine real sniper model just had scopes removed , i redid the stock, and slapped the 43 progress and base and mount off to range. and the 600.00 dollar mosin snipers have mismatched scopes as well not the original ones or mounts 99% of the time or all matching numbers. If you know what you are doing it is very economical and have a good source for the parts needed. And all the numbers but the scope and mount match on this rifle. Hve to disagree withthat one.JMO i can do em cheaper.
