I have a M38 Mosin. I don't particularly like it, but it is accurate. Does anybody really like them? I'm not sure how you could. On the other hand, they do shoot well and if I were to be dropped off on another planet tomorrow with a case or two of ammunition with no possibility of rescue or any sort of repair facilities beyond the most basic tools, I would probably pick a Mosin as my rifle. It shoots a potent caliber that is pretty much the equivalent of the 30-06. I don't know how one could be broken honestly. It would make a very effective club and with a bayonet, a great six foot long spear. If you can't kill it with a Mosin by shooting it, clubbing it, or stabbing it, you are probably a goner anyway.
