    Festuscat, That is and will be a beautiful rifle. The cocking piece looks really long to me. It almost looks like the cocking piece from a 93 Mauser. Either way what a gun that will be when it's finished.

    My 30-06 is from 1966. Are they rarer?

    I think I'm considering cutting the 640 loose. The gunsmith that did the scope base, didn't do it the way I wanted. If anyone has any interest in it, send me a PM and we can discuss it further.

    That's interesting. I haven't had that issue, but they are heavy buggers.

    The 1640 is my go-to hunting gun. I predominantly hunt in Pennsylvania so my big game with a rifle opportunities are limited to short seasons of black bear and whitetails. I'm not an expert in this caliber, I just really enjoy its no-fuss ease of use. Plenty of capacity in smaller lighter...

    Not much of a tale to tell. I love the 9.3x62 caliber and I enjoy older Mauser-esque rifles (I say Mauser-esque to avoid a debate on Mauser heritage of certain actions.) Anyways, this is my hard-earned collection of 9.3x62s from top to bottom: 1. Brno ZG-47 2. Brno ZKK-600 3. Husqvarna 246...

    Loss of faith in gun

    I have definitely had this happen to me I'm sad to say. It's unfortunate how much our mental and emotional response can inhibit our physical ability. I always joke with friends that hitting with a shotgun is 25% mechanical technique, 50% mental confidence, and 25% black magic... Sometimes all...

    Fresh From Germany: Mauser M98 125th Anniversary No. 1 Cased Rifle in 375 H&H

    That is the epitome of the bolt action rifle. The case coloring alone leaves me speechless.
