I think an old Mauser is superior to just about anything made today except in the weight category. If I want a truly light rifle, I use something else. That said, I’ve got a Husqvarna 30-06 in a Basner that is pretty svelte.

I love Mausers. I’ve got about ten of them I think. Maybe more.

I know.

Just wait Jerry,I'll have some fun at your expense.

Barely 4 hours left on that Mauser on Gunbroker! No one has been bidding...starts out at $350!

I have had a few of the CZ 550s, nice rifles. The 416 Rigby I owned was very easy to handle/shoot, wouldn't want it lighter. I bought my SIL of German heritage ( his grandfather fought the Nazis with Marshal Tito in Yugoslavia, then he immigrated) a CZ 550FS 9.3x62. I even had a scope with the German #4 reticle on it.

Someone did buy that Mauser Whelen on GB! I hope they enjoy it, looked like a good rig.

1) CZ 527 223 with 4X Leupold.
2)HVA Highpower 30/06 with FN action and 4X Weaver
3) 1957 Browning Safari 30/06 FN Action with 3-9 Stryka Scope(Bro-In-Law loaner)
4) Brno 21 7X57
5)Whitworth 375HH in Brown Precision with 2-7 Leupold
6)Whitworth Express 458 Win with express sights -African PH Rifle
7)Flaig's FN Action 458 Win with Bohler Ferlach Oval contour barrel and rib in laminated stock.
8) Custom Jay Frazier 1926 Mexican Mauser 6.5X55 with Kahles 3-10 scope.

Sold ?? Who bought it ? (not me)

I love those rifles, they're all like lunchmeat, ALWAYS ready.

That Browning Safari .458 sounds interesting,Gunner. More info please.

How about some pic's of your "09 DWM rifles. Would love to see them.

I have a couple. The .35 Whelen gets the most use, I had a Gentry 3-position safety put on it as I use mostly rifles with that setup. I still want to get a lightweight .30-06 M-98. Probably a Husky or a Parker Hale. I put Tupperware stocks on the .243 and .35 Whelen. I have the wood stocks also. I am inlettinng the .308 Norma into a Choate stock at the moment.
