My .458 is also a Mk. X Mauser. It's a bit of a heathen's rifle though, more of a tool really....these days wearing a B&C Medallist stock, Warne QD mounts holding a VX3 1.5-5 heavy duplex, weighing just on 9 pounds ready for action
It lives on 480gn Woodleigh handloads, and is very accurate. Although I just got a batch of 480gn Hydros as backup bullets, as this rifle will be accompanying me on Cape Buffalo next August.
I could go into details of the rifle in the field, but this hunt report details the best hunt I've had with my .458 to date.
