I just can't help but chuckle. I guess I would have been surprised if that WASN'T your answer, but what is so amusing is that after all these years, a 98 Mauser in 30/06 or 7x57 (please don't tell Ingwe I said that) is likely one of the best choices under the sun, taking reliability, gas handling, and a bunch of other things into consideration. I am talking for the average relatively serious hunter who beats the bush up and down and around the Rocky Mountains, not the long range guys who shoot stuff at distances measured in fractions of miles or the specialist like Pat (Scenarshooter).
