A good surplus rifle can't be beat for utility. Be careful with SOG, though...they're somewhat notorious for their "Parts is parts" approach to firearms. Boltguns and pistols from these guys are ok, but I wouldn't touch any of their semi-auto rebuilds ( FAL, CETME, etc ).
The Mosin-Nagants are really nice; I use one as a deer rifle myself. The accuracy from a stock weapon is about 2-2.5MOA; not too bad, and the recoil is easier to deal with than an 8mm Mauser, though not quite as soft as a Garand.
