My little German Great War AZ Karbiner. Sporterized interwar. Yet 8x57. Coming to me for $120 some years ago. "Ultimately simple mauser." Buy & go shoot! Just that!
Shoots to my capability nowadays... Cinderblock at twenty paces! smile smile smile
Real wood & steel, very lightweight carry. I have a lot of nice rifles, this one special as much for what it isn't. Bloated, bells & whistles, plastic & alloy; "tricked out". Big investment with optics to boot.
Appreciating this one for what it is & a favorite in that category!
OK, I'm weird and... Loving it! smile
Best, Happy New Year & Stay Safe!
John
