Got a friend looking for a milsurp bolt gun. He cannot afford a $1000 collector piece, he wants to shoot.

Prefer a 6.5x55 Swede M96 but would consider almost anything that is not an 8mm Mauser.

Maybe a decent 7x57; a Swiss, Spanish, or one of the South American Mausers

Maybe a NICE (prewar) Hex-receiver Mosin 91/30; perhaps a Tula. No sewer-pipe barreled crappy Izzy refurbs, no M48 carbines.

Maybe a Finn M39, M28, M28/30?

Perhaps a Finn-capture and reworked 91 or 91/30?

Must be as-issued, with issue sights. Bumps and dings, character flaws are fine.
Something that comes with brass and/or dies is even better.

No sporters, no scope-mounted "sniper" rifles, no sawn-down barrels, no Bubba'd junk.

In central Oklahoma, but could possibly travel some?

He needs to go to Wannenmachers and put hands on some.

He has had his hands on several. I'm trying to show that he isn't all that picky; would consider almost anything.

But he would prefer an M96 Swede.

He's a big guy, and that long milsurp rifle doesn't look all that long when he's got it shouldered.
