Started hunting deer with a 8x57. When I bough MY first rifle it was a 30/06, next was a 270, then a .308, .300 Win Mag, back to .308, and finally back to 8x57.

No plans to quit using 8x57 anytime soon, but, the .300 is still in the safe.

I don't always shoot Mausers, but when I do...I prefer VZ-24s.
