I haven't started reloading for mine yet but mine is scoped and it's about 3-4 MOA with crappy surplus and wolf.

this is almost like comparing apples to oranges though. the russians didn't care much about accuracy, fit/finish and other things that we take for granted today. the finns however had very strict guidelines for their guns and one of those guidelines was the ability to shoot MOA so your M39 is likely more accurate than most of the russian 91/30s like mine that just have an ATI rail and boyds stock slapped on.
