Default RE: 8mm mauser

I have 2:

A Czech VZ24 that I bought for about $60 about 4 years ago. Bore is crappy, and the gun won't shoot, but I have the action sitting there for a future custom project for farts and giggles. Thinking a .257 Roberts would fit nicely between my .30-06 and .223.

A Yugo 24/47. This one I bought 3 years ago for about $150 if I remember right. As new condition, matching numbers, came with a bayonet, pouch, etc. Pretty nice gun, and with the current load and sights I can get about 1" at 50 yards, and about 2 1/2" at 100. Still trying to get used to the sights, as they are very high at 100 yds. I may try some 185, 190, or 200+ grain bullets to see if I can slow it down enough for it to shoot lower than the 150's. Very fun gun, and not bad for the money. Still also debating to sporterize or leave it alone. Probably will leave it alone and mess with the other one.

Later,

Marcial
