looks nice, but I don't think I have ever heard "moisin" and "load of fun to shoot" in the same sentence. Now "moisin" and "kicks like an army mule" I hear all the time.

Ya, well.... When it's raining, I'm utterly bored and have nothing better to do, I occasionally cram a fork up my left nostril and give it a little twist---just for fun...
I reload for mine. Trust me--after ripping off with a 5-shot group of 180gr. or 200gr. hunting loads, those little mil-surp FMJ's seem pretty comforting and mild--once your shoulder blades are no longer folded over on each other and the tingling running from your right cheek down to your right hand eases up enough to operate the bolt without having a Rainman moment.
I also plink with a 180gr. hard-cast GC lead bullet that's really pleasant to play with. Mosins and chiropractors don't necessarily have to be synonymous...
