Added - once you get 'hooked' on shooting this Russian round, youse guys can move up to shooting the Finn variation. When the Finn's threw the Russians out (before WWII) they kept a ton of Russian rifles and ammo. They bought all the captured Russian rifles and ammo they could get during WWII as well and used these to 'rebuild' into improved rifles - their M39. Same ammo, built on the original receivers, improved sights, improved stocks (fingerjointed to be more accurate in the cold) They're a sweet shooter, worth the bump up in price. http://www.gunsnammo.com/
