Which one would you pick? I get a VIP pass behind the counter to check put all the Mosins at my local gunshop, they had about 24 of them, needless to say I was covered in cosmoline by the time I checked them all out,opened the bolt on all of them to check for EX-Snipers. here is what I found, and needed an opinion on which one, and ONLY one now!!
1937 Tula C N marked, not drilled or filled!
1937 Tula Hex reciever
1928 Tula C C C P would this be an Ex-Dragoon?
All are priced at $119

Tough choice...
I would say the 1937 Tula CN. These would be PE snipers with the mount on the receiver ring, not the side rail.
I would not have left the shop without the 37 Tula CN and the 37 hex. But would have bit my lip to leave the 28 if like Ken said has the 91/30 rear sight. And would be interested in buying one or two if you do get em.

Went back yesterday, '37 Tula Hex was gone, just missed the '28 Tula by 1/2 hour today, I got the '37 Tula EX-Sniper for $110.
Now the real problem, they have a 1942 US PROPERTY, Savage Enfield, looks to be all matching for $399.
AND what I think, please correct me if I'm wrong, a Finn M-28, here are the markings.
SY, T in a triangle, D on the barrel, hex receiver. They have it marked as a M-39. Front sight protectors, has the cleaning rod and what looks like a original sling. Stock doesn't have a shelac finnish like my other refurbs it has real "flat" finnish, and isn't pistol gripped like a M-39, looks like a 91/30 stock. Pretty rough shape has a hole beside the rear escutcheon plate, and the sling escutcheon plate looks "blued", or maybe homemade???
They want $325 for it, does it sound like a M-28?

It sounds like an M28, but the rear sight is key.
If it has an M39 style rear sight, it could be a very early 28/30 or an updated M28 to 28/30 specs. Both are a definite buy at $325
If it has the M91 style rear sight, it's an M28 and the price is about market value.
Price sounds a bit high on the Lee Enfield. Unless it is numbers matching and in very good condition all the way around, I would pass on it. Otherwise I would see if I couldn't get the price a bit lower, 350 wouldn't be unfair.
