    VH, I don't recognize it but there is a well known gunsmith in Greenwood, SC on the Mauser Central forum who goes by the moniker of "Clemson" who might be able to help. If you want I can flash the pic to him in a PM and see what he says. You don't have any idea what geographic area it came from do you?

    Tarheel, I got the rifle at a gun show in Columbia, S.C. from a guy who does shows in SC, NC, and Georgia but he did'nt say nor did I ask where he picked it up. See what the guy in Greenwood has to say about it, he just may know something.

    Jim, it does shoot very well, better that I expected it would. With a scope and handloaded ammo it shoots consistant 3 shot groups that measure 1 1/2'' at 100yds. Ammo recipe consists of Rem. 405gr SP bullets and a teaspoon of IMR 3031 powder, MV 2080fps. Gonna have to tame it down some though, I have a disc problem in my neck from a work related accident years ago and it's getting so I can't handle the heavy recoil anymore.
