Edit:
I should add, that I have seen one for sale and they were asking $1200 if I remember right, I didn't look that close at it. Most Mosin Nagant rifles that are in stock military condition run between 100-200.

He's right. Not all the mil surp stuff is the same. There are some models worth more than others.
The other thing is the stuff being imported now...was passed up by dealers when they started importing them 25 years ago. Another slug of good ones came in when the wall went down.
The newly imported ones are usually pretty rough...but I have an arsenal select and refurbished Mosin and a Steyer that are both from the 1st wave and are much nicer and better shooters than you see now. I would expect at least 400 for either of them.
Actually...I'm sending them to auction this fall if you are interested.
