I got this M48 rifle, Russian PU scope/mount, and Accumounts base a few years ago with the intention of making a M48-52 sniper. I was inspired seeing this guy in the UK who made one, and whose instructions I followed. http://www.thamesvalleyguns.co.uk/MauserM48-52.pdf
I think the reason this was an experimental sniper, and not mass produced, is that the eye relief is poor, the scope being too far forward. The Mosin Nagant does not have a bolt stop like the Mauser does, so the scope base can be a couple inches farther back.
I have pretty long arms/neck and still need to get in a very uncomfortable position to use the scope. In addition, I usually shoot the M48 with a rubber Limbsaver on it, which adds another inch of length.
I sighted it in by moving the scope aim point to where the sights aim, and it shoots minute of boulder at 600 yds.
I eventually got a repro scope mount, and cut/welded it so the eye relief was better.
Yugoslavia also used regular Mosin M91/30 PU snipers, which were for sale a couple years ago from the now defunct Samco in Florida.
