Not that I'm recommending this, but when you only spend $150 on the rifle, you don't feel bad about doing a trigger job with a pop can top, and lowering your POI by extending the front sight with a piece of wire insulation.
Hitting the gong consistently at 200 yards (once the barrel heats up) while the guy next to you with his modern $700 rifle kicks up dust is a pretty good feeling.
Edit: People will probably give you crap for having a Mosin (they're so common and cheap, I think people just get tired of seeing them), but I'm in it for the history. Also, today at the range I counted no less than 4.
