Looks like a nice rifle! Have you had a chance to shoot it yet? The Mauser is on my list of C&R guns I'd like to purchase.

Also welcome to the site.

Actually I was the last Person to shoot it about 10 years ago. (until Saturday morning that is :wink Shot just as good as it did 10 years ago. I hit a quarter at 200 yards. That was with a scope mounted. I took it off to look at the markings. trying to do some research on it. Know any good places to look.

Even nicer to live in a state that doesn't frown on private transfers.

The last time any was purchased for this gun was in 2000, and it was $25 for a box of 20. Havent checked it out since I got it.

I remember the cost of ammo in 2004. since then it seems everything, -22's, have at least doubled in price.
