The first Swedish mauser that I sporterized was the most accurate one I ever had. Although they have all shot very well. I sold that first one to a cousin of mine. He called me the other day and told me he is selling his guns as he has health problems and figures he will never be able to hunt again. He ask me if I wanted to buy that Mauser back. I told him absolutely yes. I have to run down and pick it up before they go South for the winter. It will be great to have it back. He never got around to shoot it. It has a scope on it but I can't remember what I had on it. I think it was a World Class Tasco. That one would shoot 1/2 to 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards every time with the 140 grain Hornady SP. I have one here that shoots very well but I never changed the old military stock and it has a nasty crack right behind the tang. The one I am buying back has a Synthetic stock. I should get one for the wood stocked one that I am useing now. I still have one that is 100 percent original military complete with bayonet original sling and flash suppresser. It has about 90 percent original Blue still in it. I love this caliber. If I had to I could get along with just that caliber. A little light for moose and elk but it does the job.
