I was wonering what something like this is worth?
And do you guys think it would be worth building a hunting rifle around say in 25-06?
Mausers make very nice hunting rifles.
You would need to have a gunsmith check the bolt face to see what caliber it could be made into.
If it was mine I would build a rifle out of it.

JMHO
