OK folks, here's a little fun for all. This is a project I've been wanting to try for a couple of years now; I am going to attempt to build a rifle capable of 1MOA or less for under $300.

The action and barrel are an unissued M-91/30 Mosin-Nagant in 7.62x54R. The stock is a FibreForce "monte carlo" style which will be relieved significantly to free-float the barrel, filled with some variety of epoxy to reduce tympanicity, and fitted with a bipod. The trigger will be replaced with an aftermarket 3-lb two-stage. The scope will be a weaver-mounted PSO-type with BDC.

Here's the challenge; to assemble this weapon, using only off-the-shelf parts, and shoot a 1" or smaller 100 yard group, using match-grade ( silvertip ) surplus ammo. I'll post updates and pictures as things happen. Anyone else interested in doing this with other rifles? Mausers, K-31s?
