My Mysterious Mauser

[tripnok]

That is a beautiful rifle. It is hard to believe that it is over 100 years old. Did you pull it from the grease wrap or just get lucky?
Since i already have a carbine sized mauser. I might go for the full long rifle. One that has not been demilitarized. I will probably stick to DWM or loewe since i know they are great manufactures.
Although i might try a swed, I have heard good things about them.

I was very, very lucky.*** And yes, go for a long rifle. A 7x57 or a Swede, both types are excellently made, with low recoil. The Swede has better sights for target shooting.

***In this field, "luck" involves looking at hundreds of second-rate examples until you find the one that really rings bells.
