Lol at the chucklefucks telling people to go to a gun show. I mean yeah it can be a decent "jumping in the deep end" type of introduction if you're completely unfamiliar with firearms in general but for the vast majority it's an overpriced shitshow. The ones around me are all 20 bucks at the door to see someone selling $2k+ D.eagles and crappy fudd'ed up milsurp rifles. You can occasionally find a good deal on more mainstream options like AR-15's or standard bolt-action hunting rifles, but for the most part I don't recommend it over internet resources.

If only it was a few years ago when mosins were still dirt cheap, then you could just use the tried and true decision making method:

Have you literally never shot a firearm before in your life? Buy a cheap mosin still coated in cosmoline and a box of rounds to have fun with.

Do you have literally any experience with handling and using a firearm but want one of your own now? Just buy a cheap $500 no-frills AR-15 and a case of ammo.

A mosin is an excellent gun if you're living in a mud hole in the woods and are going insane from exposure but not for anything else really.

Except obrezes. Everyone needs a tiny flamethrower.

This, but honestly the thing I've always found helpful about mosins as intro guns is they're big enough to not be mistaken for a toy like maybe a .22 might be, but the action is complex enough that no one's going to get out of hand and do something stupid with it other than shoulder it wrong.
