Bernie's recent post on an FR8 made me want to not only answer his question but keep on posting off-topic.
Figured I'd start a "club" thread and see what plays out.
Here's mine. A sweet little carbine I bought some time ago. I didn't really intend to keep it since I had a passing memory of hearing rumors about weak Spanish Mausers.
As time went by, I grew to really dig the thing and it is now one of my "last to go" long guns.
It shoots most any .308.
Can be fed with U.S. M-14 stripper clips.
Has excellent four position sights.
Is already side-slingable. My preferred carrying style.
Optics: Folks will hopefully come along and post their sporterized versions with the "Scout" scopes.
Has an on board, pull through cleaning kit in the fake gas tube under the barrel.
Pretty nice wood for a European, post WWII rifle.
Are accurate and Mauser-reliable.
What's not to like?
