Hearing loss is both cumulative, and permanent.  Having said that, at least some, if not most of what you are describing will be temporary due to reduced nerve function, kind of like a "sprain" to the auditory nervous system.  With time, most of your hearing will return, but it will never be quite as good as before, albeit you may not be able to tell the difference.  Going deaf is a lot like the old analogy of boiling a frog, heat the water slowly and the frog doesn't know he's being cooked until it's too late ...

The strip heaters shouldn't be running unless the outside temps are below about 32 degrees or so, unless you make a radical change in your thermostat settings.  During "normal" temperatures, electric heat pumps are one of the most efficient ways of heating a home, however they don't work as well during really cold weather.  Unfortunately, lately we haven't had as many "normal" days as usual ...

Rated as compared to a modern hunting rifle?  Not very good.  Rated as compared to the typical Mosin refurb?  Pretty good, some rounding of the lands and some frost in the bore, but that's very typical of these.  The crown's not bad for one that hasn't been counterbored either.  You did OK in the rifling lottery, it will likely be a good shooter, with good ammo.

Most of the "fake" snipers were built by Century after importing them to the US in the 90's/early 2000's.  It doesn't pay to build a "fake" sniper today, especially one that can survive even a casual lookover without being patently obvious.  Individual parts and gunsmithing won't leave any room for profit at $549, even using the repo scopes and mounts available, this was possible only several years ago when Russian snipers were bringing $1000 and the scopes and mounts were being made overseas.  There are many knowledgeable collectors who have bought these PU's from both AIM and Classic in the last few years and been quite happy with them.

AIM and Classic have been running these off and on at $549 for a few months now.  Last year they were $599, that was also the lowest price Mosin snipers had been offered for, but that was before the current slump in the firearms market.  I doubt you will find them priced any lower in the future, due to the sanctions on Russia and the turmoil in Ukraine none are in the import pipeline now.  Both companies buy from the same importers, it's likely that these came from the same batch.  Both companies are good to deal with.  Go for it.
