1912 Steyr Chilean Mauser, 7x57

Here are some pics of my old surplus Mauser. This rifle is alot of fun to shoot and its in superb condition. I prefer to feed it 175 grain bullets instead of 140's.

Sorry for the poor quality, web cam is the best I got.

Hey bro...what caliber is this, 8MM? I have to buy a Chilean Mauser to go a long with my Chilean wife. It's as good a reason as any other, right?

I have 99 rounds of 8MM (Mitchell, 175 Gn) that I'll never shoot, because I sold my Mitchell 2 years ago.

Look up at the thread title. It's 7x57.

Bummer...I was going to give it to you. Oh well. I may go and buy one of the old German K98 rifles. I'm trying to find one with all matching numbers.

Yes unfortunately for me I don't have an 8mm. My grandpa does, though. I appreciate the gesture, none the less
