Don't be afraid to shoot it with the Pig sticker extended, especially if you go for the M44 or carbine variety. I have a 91/30 and a M44, recoil on each is not all that bad. Best advice is to really go for the best rifle'ing you can find. Then clean, clean, clean. First to get all the cosmoline out, second to get the bore shiney. I used J&B compound, grey is course, red is fine and this coupled with an electrolysis cleaning resulted in a bore that spits out 1 MOA rounds whether its high priced Wolf/Norma brand ammo, or el Cheapo 4 buck a pack corrosive. The difference in patterns is about 3/4's of an inch (This is with my 91/30 and after corking the barrel and tightening all screws). Finally, the 91/30 will shoot high(2") right (1") with the bayonet attached, and the pattern will be a little bigger. The M44 I have only has iron sights, and @100 yards holds a tighter pattern with the bayonet extended (albeit not as good as the 91/30 w or w/o bayonet).
