Just wondering cause I picked up a mosin 91/30 (with hex reciever!!

) and I am wondering if it would make a good rifle for a SHTF (realistic situations, NOTHING like a "zombie apocalypse) situation because we are getting there. I DON'T USE SURPLUS AMMO as it is corrosive, I only use good stuff (Winchester 7.62x54R) so it's not corrosive. I've heard they are very reliable and strong, but just wondering overall. Thanks!
