Since it's about Mausers and military rifles, here's my current favorite- a M1903A1 USMC sniper. Not original, built on a late nickel steel action, new Criterion barrel, original WWII 03A1 replacement stock, 8x Unertl scope (proper model but not USMC marked).

It is strictly a cast bullet shooter. I reamed the throat with a 1 1/2 degree included angle reamer for that very purpose.
