I'm a traditionalist, but M28 just banged on the safe door and told me he wants to try on those pants.
Not many precision high power cartridges are available for $0.16/rd.I'm with Bhi curamach on this one. One of the things I love most about the Mosin is that it is a cheap and useable military surplus rifle. Making a change that drastic to it kind of takes away that appeal. Might as well build a precision rifle from a newer platform that already accepts removable mags, adjustable synthetic stock, etc.
Just my 2 cents and to each his own of course, but I think I'll keep mine in the original wood.
