I don't think you'll get anywhere trying to talk them down on price. As far as recommendations, read the entire post. Near the bottom:

Summary & recommendation: go ahead and buy under these conditions:
Request handpick excellent condition ex-sniper, high wall with sniper acceptance codes (“C” prefix-serial number on chamber.)
Budget an original PU mount to the cost-$75-$120 range
|
Also note date ranges:
PE - 1932-1936 (PE is focus adjustable)
PEM 1936-1940, 1942 for a short time
There was a guy on Gun Broker selling a complete PE "sniper" with a 1943 dated receiver. All original, of course.
If all you want is a scoped Mosin, have a look at
IO's repros. The cost of this rifle isn't a lot more than the sum of the parts. Make sure the mount's steel, tho.
