[QUOTE="Cowbaby, post: 3533761, member: 46875"] If my memory serves me a Mosin sniper model once held the 1000yd record. There is enough barrel for days to utilize if you can find one that is not shot out. If you just want an action to customize a Mauser is tops as that clip will rip the back off a stuck case if you could pull it. I seem to remember there are years to stay away from in an 8MM as when Germany was collapsing they were building these things in all kinds of occupied countries and the last ones quality was suspect to the point of unsafe without being checked. Just some info as I am not much of a Milsurp guy myself and prefer to buy mine already sporterized so to speak. But they are a good way to get a cheap shooter if you have a good bore light and can get a good one.I have always wanted to build a custom off of a Mauser action sometime but I need another project like a hole in the head right now. With those WWII Mil jobs some of them may have been stored for decades and survived somewhat or you might get one some poor sob dang near melted the barrel down in some trench somewhere trying to stay alive. You just got to take a good look. [/QUOTE]
