Thank you everyone for info. Nick, I did not know Mastodon was so close to me. I just went there and met with Joe. He just recently sold his last Mosin, but he took my # and is going to get one for me ASAP. Really nice guy. I ended up ordering a Ruger 10/22 also and bought some ammo from him. Joe was really super friendly to the new(er) shooter and I had a great experience there. Will be back in a few days to pick up my gun.
