My Favorite gun/scope combo is a DWM Mauser model 1909 (argentine)that my grandfater, who was a talented gunsmith, built up for me. He chambered it is .300 Winmag, put a nice Oklahoma Walnut stock on it, a custom barrel and drilled and tapped it. It wears a Docter Optic 3-9a40 scope made in germany with warne rings. With his loads, Itcan shoot 7/8" groups. It weighs 7.3 lbs. He made it for me back when I was a hippy and I had no interest in guns, being at that time a raging liberal. He is gone now and never got to see me get interested in guns and hunting. But I am taking the Mauser on it's first hunt in October. If I get an elk this year, I know he would be pleased.
Sorry, I ramble
