RE: Are Turkish Mausers still available
The turk mausers are OK.
For around the same amount of money I would suggest a Czech, something in the 28 range. The barrels and actions are usually in much better shape and are of better metal. For only a few dollars more you should get a much better shooter.
The turks will prob. get rarer faster though, if you can find one in good condition.
