Thumbs up Military surplus rifle

I picked up a Mosin Nagant 91/30 quite a few years ago. Bought it mainly because of its history, and basically I just like old guns. For $70 bucks I couldnt go wrong. I have shot it a few times and put it away. I am not one to buy somthing and just let is sit around forever. So I have descided that this could make me a nice varmint rifle with a little work. The ballistics fall somewhere in between a 30.06 and .308. I have slowly modified it a little at a time over the past couple years. I have put a monte carlo sythetic stock on it, bent the bolt handle, installed an over the reciever scope rail, added a couple new safety features, and revently done a trigger job. I have a scope but still need to buy scope rings. Anyone else own one of these? What do you think about it used as a varmint rifle. Once I add a bi-pod I think it will be alright. Will have to remember to take pictures.
