I did alot of work on it after I found it in a Pawnshop.
Posted alot of threads on work I did on it.
Someone pawned grampies rifle he picked up in a PX in Europe is my speculation on it.
Hammer of the Gods with S&B 196gr SPCE in it and accurate as hell.
My poor ole mod 70 ot6 aint gonna see the woodline for the 4th year running again.
Thats how much I like this 98.

I have to say that is a sweet rifle. Set up perfectly for the kind of hunting I do mostly. I like a well balanced rifle and one that fits you perfectly. The reason I have also customize some of my stocks for perfect fit and handling. I find some of the older rifles actually fit my needs better as well. I've been thinking about which rifle I am going to use and I kind of have an "old faithful". Its not the prettiest or the lightest, but it just fits:

And yes, it used to be a "military rifle". Most of you here can tell which one..
