I don't think much of the idea. Using a mil surp, obsolete, oddball caliber weapon as your last ditch rifle does not seem a good idea. There are better choices. Anything you do to it would cost more than the rifle.
Course there is a cult following for obsolete Commie guns, and more power to those folks, but its not a course I would take.
No offense, but aren't Mannlicher's considered by many to be obsolete
. I'm just a'sayin...

Yeah, but it was interesting seeing what surplus cost just a few years ago. I think it's convinced me to order one more case of x54r from AimSurplus, and another case of 30-06 from CMP!

That's a Yes
Well I like my M91/30 , I know with some practice I've timed myself reloading it in 4 seconds with stripper clips, you don't need to get original russian, at least not if you go look on http://www.e-gunparts.com , and search for stripper clips there, they sell the steel ones, 88 cents each or something if you buy at least 20, I think it's a high quality rifle for the cost...., I mean the Mosin Nagant design in general...., and yeah you can just mount a LER scope in place of the rear sight....
of course if your going for a scout rifle you understand accessories are helpful..., scope, mount, bipod to steady the rifle, stripper clips, webgear like bandoliers or something for the stripper clips..., which you could just use a standard rifle bandolier you can get through sportsmans guide, or cabelas, oh and definantly would want to find a good hardcase for the rifle..., as well as laser boresighter if you don't want to spend all day sighting it in and then have to sight it in all over again when you bump it into something too hard...
