Might be a "seasonal" item but, hey, its the season! Hard to beat  a large ring Mauser '98. I like the ones made before 1938 or'39, no war time  pressure to get rifles in the hands of troops. 8X57mm = formidable round , it will do about anything a .30-06 will. Need to hand load for best performance as there are many Mauser '93's & '95's out there, American commercial ammo is down loaded out of respect for the earlier model rifles, they might be made of the same material as a '98 but lack the design features the '98 has.</p></blockquote><p></p>
