What else can there be? If you trace the chronology of military arms, after the Mosin, we have the SKS, the AK... The Swedish K31 is great but they are going up in price and ammo is expensive and not very common. Ammo is the key. Are there any classic, plentiful cheap guns that shoot 5.45?

I think the Mosin is the final frontier in a way. Buy 'em while you can, I just bought my first 91/30, looking for a good deal on an M44 and an M38, probably will get a hex Tula 91/30 too. Love mine, by far the best bang for the buck. Just praying that 7.62x54R stays cheap for a long time.
