Default New Finnish M28-76

I haven't seen many of these lately and grabbed it at auction when I saw this one.

Only have the auction pics now

I picked up one of those from AIM Surplus a few years back. Amazing the things the Finns could do with those old Russian rifles.

But this new one was a great deal and it has the scope base on it, which my old one doesn't.
