Vapodog,
You really know how to hurt a guy .
You are correct sir, I do really, really like that Mauser in 9.3. A classic Mauser sporter in a classic round. Is that a 3 position Winchester wing safety? I'm a sucker for anything Mauser, as I said, and am also a sucker for 3 position safeties. I just got used to the military safeties when i was a kid shooting my rifles in military configuration, and became quite comfortable knowing I could lock the bolt and trigger, then unlock the bolt to cycle rounds safely, and then of course go red.

Someday I will acquire or build something so beautiful, but for now I'll keep saving and planning.

That is a rifleman's rifle sir. (slobber, slobber)
