Seems the old warhorse doesn't want to die....
With still millions of Mosin rifles in storage in Russia, the Central Design Bureau for Sporting and Hunting Arms (TSKIB SOO) based in Tula, in the early 2000s commisioned two sniper rifles based on Mosin parts.
However, some of them are rumored to be made from newly milled barrels and receivers.
One is the OTs 48. The effective range is said to be "over 1000 meters".
Another is the OTs 48k...a bullpup Mosin!!!

No hope of having them over here, Russia at the moment does not allow them to be exported and they are strictly used for their military and special police forces.
