That itty-bitty aft barrel sight... actually does 'seem' pretty accurate. Rifle condition is also pretty nice & I really 'enjoy for what it is'! Pix below.

There is an Israeli Mauser kicking around here too. At least that fine little front sight gives you some pretty precise aim, although I can't shoot it to the same potential as I do the Criterion barreled M1 Garand sitting next to it. That thing belts! When I say potential I mean averaging slightly over MOA with 39.5 gr. 3031 under a 130gr TTSX in a Lake City case.

Those Mausers sure do handle and point well though. Carry a lot nicer. Jealous on the Win pre 64s. I did not know they were offered in standard configuration. That's not a rebarrel? If its factory, would love to find one of those!



When it comes to ballistics, 7mm-08 may be a better mousetrap but I'll never hunt or shoot far enough to see it.
