Should I buy 2 Mosins (M91/30, M44, or M38) or a cheap K98K and a Mosin?

Depends on whether its a Kar98a or Kar98b or Kar98k... ?

What kind of Mosin?  A Finn m/1891 with a B-barrel or Finn 91/30 would certainly be tough competition to a common Russian war reparation K98k.
Especially if the Finn rifle had new stock & handguard. A Finn m/1891-24 wtih a SIG barrel would be way cool. A Finn m/28 or m/28-30 would
also trump any common ol' K98k. But if you meant Kar98a or b then that's a different story altogether. How's a body to know?  

The last Kar98b I saw was a stunning fresh rebuild unissued with marking provenance to the Condor legion.

Is that what you meant?  I'll loose sleep tonight over this because you didn't say... .

buy the mosin and a kar98 that way you can research both and become a hopeless addict like the rest of us! Also you can have more fun shooting at the range and testing, testing, testing reloads!

As mutch as I would like a Finn Mosin I'll stick with the M91/30, M44 and possably the M38, and as for the K98k, I'll probably just get a RC K98K if I can find one in my price range.

All the M44 and M38s that i have seen lately have counter bored barrels. Look for one that isn't counterbored as it will be a much better shooter.
