mtnman, thank you very much, you are a life saver. Will you split the shipping with me? I wouldn't expect you to pay it all.

Actually, I can't wait to take delivery of this cute little girl. Just a 7 mauser, 7lbs. without the scope. My wife and I are going to take it mule deer hunting in west Texas to break it in.

Here is one of the neatest things on the rifle, I just love this long tang. I want to hunt with it using iron sights only. Should be a trim, quick rifle.

No words of mine can hope to convey to you the ringing joy and hope embodied in that spontaneous yell: �The Americans are coming; at last they are coming!�

I hadn�t the heart to disillusion them.
