Hello,
This is highly subjective to the rifle.
Czech silver-tipped light ball is largely considered the best of the surplus ammunition, but it does produce hygroscopic salts which lead to rusting if the rifle is not cleaned right away.
For new production ammunition, Prvi Partisan, Winchester, and S&B work nicely. However, they are brass-cased and are about $1 US per round. They are really only worth the cost if you plan to reload (I do).
Wolf, Barnaul, and Brown Bear are all produced on ex-military machinery, are steel cased and non-reloadable. They are also about half the price of the domestic and brass-cased fodder, and would be my recommendation to those wishing to shoot non-corrosively primed ammunition but who do not reload.

you will need to get a variety of springs and have a gunsmith intstall and test fire.
In terms of quality, the remington 700 is a much finer rifle. On the other hand, the Mosin Nagant can be cheaper, possibly just as accurate, and have more stopping power. In my opinion(That does not mean it is the best), I would get a Mosin Nagant because I have this fear of my weapons not having enough stopping power. A word of advise would be to clean the Mosin Nagant thoroughly after shooting and to remove any of that excess junk inside the chamber that makes for a tough bolt to open. All in all, they both have their faults and it is up to you to decide which you deem is required. Stay Safe Hope this helps.
The Mosin Nagant. Accurate, good range, and plus it looks good. Bolt action, makes a nice sound. It could be fitted with a bayonet and a scope. Don't take my word for it, I'm just saying Mosin Nagant because I am Russian.
They are made by Advanced Technology, are composite, and come with a lifetime warranty. The best deal I've found so far is 69.95 ea. You can check it out at www.combathunting.com. Search for Nagant stock in the upper right hand corner. Should be the first one on the list.
the best weapons used in WWII are, in my opinion, the; Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle US Thompson M1 submachine gun German Mauser Kar98k rifle German MP40 submachine gun
Well it really depends on what you want the k98k goes from $250.00 to $1000.00 for a all matching bnz marked rifle. Personally for $100.00 you can't go wrong with a mosin nagant. Stay away from the 42-44 marked rifles as the milling can be very bad. My rule of thumb is that pre and post war mosin nagants are the best. The mosin nagant is not perfect however, the safety sucks, it's so bad I don't even use it. The k98 or the Gew98 is a very nice rifle and for a average price for $399.00 from Micthells Mausers it is a great rifle. I don't know much about the M1903 but I would assume it's a good rifle since it's a mauser copy. They are expensive anywhere form $750.00-$1200, but in the long run it would be cheaper to shoot because the 30-06 is everywhere in sporting goods stores since it is such a popular game round.
This question is a bit vague to be answered. What purpose do you want it for is the big question here. A Ruger 10/22 and a Mosin Nagant could both be had for under $500 (actually, you could have both for under $500), but each rifle serves a very different purpose.
There are varying opinions on what ammo is the "best." Generally speaking, the best ammo to use is whichever ammo is the most reliable in your particular gun.
Federal premium ammo
It's certainly possible. There's no way of knowing for certain, as records of these things are spotty at best and are generally not made accessible to the public.
If none of your local stores are carrying them, AIM Surplus and J&G sales probably have the best deals going on them right now. You may want to check Gun Broker and Auction Arms if you're looking for rarer/specific models, as the MN 91/30, and maybe some Finnish variants, such as the M38 or M39, will likely be the only models available at retailers.
