Looks like a dressed up Mosin Negant to me:

Finnish M28/76 7.62X54R 27in Target Rifle.
$949.95

Finnish M28/76 bolt action special target rifles chambered for 7.62x54R. These rare and collectible rifles were designed and used by the Finnish Army for marksmanship qualification, military competition, and sniper training. The M28/76 features a birch stock with intense palm swells and metal reinforced accessory rails for shooting slings. They are built around M28/30 rifles, legendary for their accuracy, which is assisted by bedding the actions to free-float the target barrels. The bolt handles are bent to ease operation past the intricate diopter sights. These rifles are used and will show signs of wear but they are in overall very good condition. Come with a hard case. C&R Eligible.

Someone put a fancy stock, and sight, on an otherwise J&G Moisin.

Remember the phrase, "Sucker born every minute"....

I'd buy it if it came with the extremely rare 'Snowwis' scope.

I will agree, the price is TOO high, but it is a piece of history, and probably accurate to boot.  I think it ought to be priced like the Swedish target Mausers, in the 600 range, as the sights themselves have collectability, in the 200 dollar range. The Finns are fine builders of firearms, from any era. Valmet, or Sako, which I own only 1, a .338 WM Finnbear, great rifle, smooth as butter and I have made 350 yard shots successfully 1st round 1 shot kill.

Crazy expensive for its utility?  Yes.  But I like it, I modeled a video game rifle that was based on that pic.

You only have to sell three to get an ACR. $2700 for a $1100 rifle.  Making you a much classier sucker.

It's probably worth more than we think.
Finnish "Mosin Nagant" ?  Maybe, Just like the Valmet is "another AK".
This is probably a VERY accurate rifle.
