Ok, I got this rifle, and not sure which direction to take with it. It is one of the last rifles built before the end of the war. The action has very few if any markings besides the eagle and Swastica. Problem is it has been rebarrelled to a .243 and a cheasy wood stock on it. But it does have a kick ass scope like this one but not Kahles. Part of me would like to restore it with a 8mm barrel and new wood like original. Part of me says go the other route and use the action for a project, but not sure it the action is a quality action. I don' t know where it was made and don' t even know if its mauser. I know they put out some junk at the end of the war. I know Briman knows alot about these. I know I can pick up one of those cheapies but would like to keep that action and scope
