    Thumbs up Love those Finns

    I've got an Unissued Finn potbelly 91/30 and a VKT M39. IIRC the M39 was from the old Burns Brothers and cost me a whopping $60 as a VG condition rifle (found my original receipt for the M39. It was $90 not $60. Still a very good deal). Shoots as well or better than modern rifles that cost 10x as much. I've left the 91/30 as it since it has not been fired since it was refurbished. The M39 however gets a trip or two to the range each year. I've still got a little bit of the 7N1 sniper ammo that was imported a few years ago. Ended up selling several cases of it but never got to shoot any myself. Not sure if my old M39 will shoot much better with it but thought I'd try a little comparison next trip to range and see how the 7N1 does against some standard Russian LPS.

    Anyone else a "Finn Fan"?

    Here's some pics of my potbelly 91/30
