Wow, $500. And to think I was reluctant to give $250 for a hex receiver.You have to remember, the kids buying them these days don't have a reference point to compare prices like us old guys do. I remember seeing them sell for $29.99 or less. The kids buying them now see them in video games but don't know how cheap they used to be. $500 or more seems perfectly reasonable to them when comparing them to other rifles.
I remember Len's gun shop in Glenwood, Illinois as a kid. Probably about 1965. They had just set out two 55 gallon drums full of surplus Mausers, $20 each, your choice, no guarantee. The adult conversation that I overheard was "who would pay $20 for one of those". Different sized dollars in those days.You have to remember, the kids buying them these days don't have a reference point to compare prices like us old guys do.

My Thing 2 bought a case of hex's for $129.00 each delivered as I recall. It might have been $119.00Wow, $500. And to think I was reluctant to give $250 for a hex receiver.
To be fair, it did have a strap, a leather wrap around the stock that holds extra bullets, and a scope mount that accepts modern 1" scopes. Also not a spec of corrosive damage.My Thing 2 bought a case of hex's for $129.00 each delivered as I recall. It might have been $119.00
Man $5000 for a fake sniper is pretty proud, 2000$ is double what it's currently worth. Somebody is buying into the advertising on that one.
Gosh dang! For $5000, that better be Vasily Zaitsev's rifle.
That's for sure. How can you tell if it's an authentic Mosin sniper rifle or a bubba'd replica?Gosh dang! For $5000, that better be Vasily Zaitsev's rifle.
