I'd go with the M44, if you have the option. I bought mine about 15 years ago. It's a Romanian, made in 1954, and appeared to be unfired. Seeing how it was an $89 milsurp, it didn't bother me a bit to take the bayonet off, and whack off some of the forend wood.
Mine is way more accurate than I am. I bought several boxes of S&B 180gr softpoint ammo back when I got the rifle, and it's plenty accurate for me out to at least 100yds. If my vision was better, I'd go further with no qualms.. the gun is fully capable.
