I have a 8x57 hitler post office sniper rifle model 98 pre war Mauser.
My dads brother gave it to my dad after WW2
I had it fitted to a synthetic Boyd’s stock. Left it on a mule teddy rooselvet style through timber snapped the stock, Boyd’s gave me a new one. J kolb fixed the safety to lock the bolt.
My friend once put three hand load into a quarter size at 200 yards.
Shot a 28 inch mule deer with it, been used for awhile not consistent got an cow elk this year…….I think it’s probably my first big game rifle, and my best rifle………..but I ain’t quite convinced……..
I love rifles.
