i also have a mauser 66 in 7x64. i brought it back from germany with me. i used it to shot roe deer and pig. for some reason lighter weight bullets shoot better in it.
i used 120 gr. keigelspitz (sp?) factory rws ammo back then, and had just started to reload for it before i came back to the states.
it really liked 139gr btsp's, in front of 55.5 grains of imr 4350.
mine is different thatn yours tho, i have a cross bolt safety at the rear of the bolt shroud, not on the side as shown above, and my sling swivel is on the barrel, not in the forearm. it wears a straight 6x scope in claw mounts.
great keep sake with lots of memories.
