You can still find the yugo mausers for a little bit more $$$ than a mosin. Plus, a yugo mauser stands a good chance (most were virtually unissued) at outshooting the turk mauser or the mosin. I love my 24/47. 2moa with iron sights and surplus ammo (I'm not kidding). Very easy rifle to shoot, too. The 2moa is from a supported prone position with a sling to steady, and the rifle honestly feels like it wouldn't move if someone came up and kicked the muzzle sideways. I don't even really have to apply much pressure, or use a tourniquet tight sling. It just naturally stays there, with the fundamentals seeming to take care of themselves with no conscious effort from me (yaknow, breath control, trigger manipulation). All I have to do is point it in the right direction
