7.62x54R I bought mine for $84.00 + tax. Yep, it was ugly when I got it. But when I saw how good it shot the ugliness started to fall away. It packs a punch. With 150gr. SBT from Privi Partisan I was grouping under 2" @ 50 yds. with open sights and cataract laden eyes. The cataracts are now history, the stock refinished and I'm waiting on the new scout scope for it. This baby is going deer hunting next year. The 7MM Mag. & the .270 Win are going to sit next season out.
