All three have now been superceded by specifically "for sniping" rifles and cartridges. Neverthelss, the M24 is still a very outstanding rifle. I have one, in.338 Lapua caliber, with which I can with very high frequency, hit an 8 inch pie plate at 1500 yards.

The standard-issue 91/30 had a straight bolt handle, which is currently being sold for under $100. For those who have never fired one, I can tell you all that these things are RUSSIAN. Designed for the Russian battlefield, they are, indeed, an ugly piece...but, it is accurate, fires a proven round still used by the Russian Army even today (that's a 115 year-old round!), and is rugged beyond belief...and, yes, it does kick. But, boyoboy, is it fun to shoot! The Mosin-Nagant M91/30 sniper variant is undoubtedly still in use in some remote corner of the world.

If it was almost 1000$, it may be genuine. If it's more like 500$ then it's likely not an original, but instead one paired up with a PU scope for the import market Depends on the price.
