If you scored that for $200 you got a bloody bargain!
There's probably $1000 in the scope, mount, stock and magazine alone.
Is the barrel aftermarket?

sorry for the misleading, the rifle is 200 dollars I bought the mount (75 dollars delivered) after find out the barrel is not good to shoot (the POI is far right out of front sight adjustment) also the rifling on the middle and rear part is good but no good at all in front, so I cut the barrel put the scope on, hope can find a time to try soon

for the action, stock and mag, 200 dollars still a good buy I reckon, if still can not shoot normally, maybe put a new barrel for her

Nothing wrong with that $200 rifle. How much was David's sling and it turned out to be a giant killer!

I still think you scored a bargain though :-)

I got a spoterised Turk Mauser for $200 (plus $10 PtA) that shoots very well.

My dealer only took it because he knew I'd buy it right away. It never even went on the shelf.

It certainly is a fine looking specimen..
Can you clarify, the rail (mount) appears to be only attached at the far rear ?????

there is a large bolt (red arrow) grab a metal bar (blue arrow, beneath the rail) to fix the mount in the middle as well

3x3 shot factory ammo groups, POI roughly the same as bore sight, looks like the problem solved
