FINALLY took said rifle to the range and it works 100%. Now, except the devaluating piece of garbage I have for a stock, the gun is fun to shoot. Need to get cranked up with 8mm reloading.

What 8mm surplus would people recommend? Modern stuff is running a buck a round. Surplus is hovering between 45 cents and upwards of a dollar. Guess I will start with some smaller lots of surplus types and see what works well, although the stuff I was shooting was really old Greek surplus. No date on head stamp. Amazed it worked like it did. Sign of a solid gun I guess?
