Very nice find!! I have a sporter in this and it has been my main hunting rifle for the past two years. Very accurate at 100yrds +. Mine likes the heavier rounds. Accuracy drops off when I get below 160gr range. Very comfortable to shoot with the 170gr.

A slight hijack but still somewhat on topic. I have a 1895 Chilean in 7mm that had been sported. Stock had been cut down, sights removed, scope mount staked, and barrel cut and recrowned.

I got a mauser not long ago and now I have the bug...that one where you only look for the older more mature ones that you know are built well. Oh well, at least my wife doesn't mind!!
