For me the end game is a waffenfabrik mauser oberndorf 9.3x62 fitted with a oigee luxor 3x scope from Berlin. Both being from the 1920's.
These were the rifles that pushed a steady flow of gunsmiths from the United States into Germany to learn the fine gun making trade.

The original dangerous game bolt action.

Generally bored handling almost every bolt action in existance, this is the original by which all were a rip-off of.

Felt a tinge of excitement. Then had to by a dmn $187 dollar John Speed Mauser book, just to figure how serious of a find I had in my possession.
