Stay on topic, that is a later improved version of a 98 Mauser...

Is that a Mossberg bolt action shotgun w/Polychoke - or a rifle with a brake? My glasses are around here someplace, maybe.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

battue,
Please tell me which pre-1900 automobile is still considered among the best for driving today.

Where were you yesterday? ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/Elk/100_0807.jpg) Working, watching volleyball. I'll shoot one of those stinky things next week.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I thought this thread was for stuff over 100years old that still works. I thought Shrap was only barely older than me..( and no, Im not 100 yet....)
I love the tikka idea....

battue,
Please tell me which pre-1900 automobile is still considered among the best for driving today. You win on the specific example. However, when it comes to the evolution of the example I think the automobile has merit as it relates to hunting.

I'll take it over an egg beater, unless I'm the one beating her eggs.

Battue,
The article was about ONE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE, specifically the 98 Mauser, not an essay about the history of human technology in general.
I always love the posts generated when somebody quotes a couple sentences from an entire article, and then a bunch of Campfire guys who've never read the article make irrelevant comments.

Way it goes here and my inclination is it will not change anytime soon. However, if it helps any I will read the article shortly.

I think that Kentucky jelly is better for some stuff.... Rumor has it lard was the preferred choice in certain locals way back when.

battue,
On a different tack, thanks for the inspiration. Will begin my next article on hunting rifles by going back to the beginnings of human history, reviewing all the changes in technology from the first moment we made fire. Then I'll finish up the piece with a paragraph on whatever subject the article is supposedly about.
Dang! I just remembered another gun writer who uses that technique all the time....
