well.....you went and bought my gun!! lol im looking to retire the Mauser. big, heavy and the gunsmith that "sporterized" it made it look good to sell quick...but man am i paying for it now. i cant get it to quit rusting[:@] inside and out. i could pack it in grease and it would rust..no other gun in the house rusts except it!! it gets more care than my other guns because i know it rusts...oh well lesson learned..i was really leaning towards the encore in 25-06..see what i decide on this summer when i got the cash..hopefully got the cash..let me know how you like it!
maybe they'll come off the price for you by then. just the rifle alone is costing me $780.00. i still have to include another $100.00 for the Leupold scope mount and rings. for now, i'm just going to take the scope off my Wby. and put it on the T/C. i'll buy the Wby. another scope down the road.
