I had an 8MM Mauser which the chart says was a 2004 model. It was fun to shoot and had .30-30 ballistics with normal off the shelf American ammo, which was good. The kids could shoot it or I could shoot some stout reloads in it was still very comfortable to shoot and had some real power. The trigger needed to be replaced and was never good but I ended up moving on to another project and put it away. If I had a new one today, it would stay in my safe and kept as a collectable. All the 700 Classics are bringing a real hefty price now.
