So I decided that I wanted to invest in a milsurp rifle and went down to my friendly local gun shop. My interest in the weapon is as a shooter - I want something pretty accurate (2 MOA or better) and fairly tough - but good looks are a very nice bonus. I had my head set on a K31, until I started handling some of the other rifles in stock. The dealer had some Russian 91/30's, and from the moment I shouldered one, I was in love. It felt more balanced in my arms than just about anything else I've tried - it just felt right!
The problem was that I knew that the Russian Mosins aren't generally as accurate as I'm looking for. With that in mind, I decided that I needed to research the Finn models. I've done so, but I could still use some advise. I'm looking at AIM's rifles, and trying to figure out what to do. I'm stuck between a Tikka built 91/30 (hand picked?) and a select grade M39.
I presume that the Finn 91/30 is going to feel pretty similar to the Russian model (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm worried that the condition won't be as crisp as I'd like. I haven't handled a M39, but if it's pretty similar to the 91/30, might that be a better pick?
