Update! Been a While. New project in the works!

Wow haven't posted in a while. I decided to use this blog as a place to store information about gun projects I'm working on or "aspire" to work on. I've since sold the SKS, had got an AK which I love, and added a few pistols to the mix. A new S&W 22a1 and a Kel Tec p32. Anyhow. I bought a Mosin 91/30 last summer and had the idea of turning it into a sniper. I decided to add a scout scope mount which is a good set up. I've since had aspirations to go all out and get a ATI stock, mount, bent bolt.etc. I am using this to add some links for future reference and update my progress here.

Floating the barrel. Can be done easy and cheap and "can" improve accuracy.

May have found a cheaper solution. Good ol sportsman's guide!
http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cart/cart_view.asp?d=40466272&oKey=19711&oPromo=WX2&oColor=000&oSize=000$110 for mount, scope, and stock. Then add the boltman bolt for $55, $165 for the whole thing! $90 less than I'd thought. I may haft to move forward with this!

So for around $250 I can have an MOA(1inch at 100 yds) rifle. Some say " why not buy a modern Savage or Remington 700 and have  a much more accurate rifle. A Stevens 200 runs around $300 without scope. Both the scopes I'm thinking of would run another $100 so $400 or so. Not to mention the cost of ammo. 7.62x54r can be had for ALOT cheaper than comparable .308 or 30-06. Plus half the fun is in the project and making the rifle my own!

When it's finished it aught to look something like this.
