My other rifle is a 7x57 Mauser.
I have one of them, too, and in equally nice condition. It's an FN made Venezuelan Mauser 98 made in the middle 1930s. Never shot that one, either. I have some 7mm Mauser ammo on order from Midway, but it's back ordered. Soon as I get it, I will shoot it. I've had that one for about 30 years, too. I have a really nice Swedish Mauser, in 6.5, also (shot that one quite a bit about twenty-five years ago). I used to have a factory new Persian Mauser, too, but an Iranian talked me out of it. He wanted it as a gift for his father, who served in the Iranian military under the Shah.
