Bnz asked me to post this as he is busy cleaning his Mosin's.

The good news, the scope is genuine. It has the domed screw heads on the adjustment knobs and the date is 1943. This is from the first two numbers, the following five are the serial number. (Closer pictures of the mount, both sides, are needed to see if it is original).

It is a Finnish WW2 sniper rifle captured by the Russians. The rifle is dated 1944 and was made by Tikka, the T in the triangle.
The SA denotes Finnish Army. The mark on the stock is simply the stockmakers mark.

This web site is worth a look. http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinRareSA.htm

By the way, nice rifle :)

That is a very nice looking Mosin Nagant. Dirtbag of this forum was shooting his MN at 1200 yards today, he may even have pictures of it on here somewhere.

Finnish Mosin nagant for the win !

Nice fin doug, I have a fin m91 and love it. The fins shoot much better than the ruskies fact !

As for Opa' s comment Indeed I was shooting my Pem today, hit nothing at 1200, but did better at 1000.

Heres a video of the 1000 (sorry couldnt resist)
