Google up 7.62x54r.net and you'll find lots of information and pictures. The models that Big 5 would likely carry is the 91/30. They used to carry M44 and M38. Personally, I'd look for bore condition first, then receiver (I prefer hex). I got a hex one with Russian Imperial eagle stamp from Big 5. Most people like those made by Tula - look for star. The best 91/30 I have has Westinghouse receiver and Tikka barrel I got from gunbroker. Not likely to show up at Big 5, but who knows?
