The new (old) Mosin Nagant will come so equipped, thank God.

Rather than spending a lot of money tricking out a Mosin, you might
consider getting a different gun entirely. There are some pretty good
223s around that are extremely accurate and more fun to shoot. The
jury is still out on mine but it's not exactly my favorite gun at this
point.
I like "old fashioned" style firearms, like lever action rifles and
revolvers, and I'd love to have a "cherry" Swedish Mauser. I've looked
at a few vids of those Mosins, and I just don't get their appeal, other
than the fact that they can be bought cheap. To my eye, they're too big,
ugly and, of course, heavy. But to each his own.
If I decide I need to "carry" again, I'll probably get one of the new
small Ruger revolvers, like one of the LCRs, instead of a semi-auto.
