This is my oft-mentioned Mauser. I believe it was sporterized at some point post-WWII. You have to admit that regardless, she's a beaut-- before I got her, she was stored in a leather sheath in an attic for ten years. I wiped her off, cleaned her up, lubricated her, and she worked just fine. An incredibly well-made, tough piece of hardware, and the bane of hogs in the neighboring counties.

7x57 is a fine caliber, too. Works on anything up to the big bears in North America.

take it thats a sporterized 1919 argentine Mauser right..
Yep, good looking rifle (oft mentioned that it is) and were all pretty happy with the floor as well, ok for real, do you have a pic of the Ruger you can throw down on the bathroom tile maybe..

Haha well it's a Spanish Mauser (has Oviedo markings), and the Ruger's just a standard black GP-100, rosewood grips, .357 magnum.
