If it is a real Finnish Mosin and not a Finnish marked capture Russian, still in Russian configuration, that is good. The Finns have a reputation for good accuracy and I believe they used heavier barrels than Russians. They have shown up for alot more than 250 around here lately, since I don't know if they are importing any more of them. I am happy with my refurbed Russian because it was cheap, I hand picked it from a lot, and it is in perfect condition, or as perfect as a refurbed 1943 will ever be.
