So I am thinking I want to get a milsurp type rifle and I am interested in an 8mm Mauser. My Grand dad used one that he brought back from the war, to hunt mule deer with.
The reason I want one is for an Elk hunt that I may some day draw a tag for, 15 years and counting that I have been putting in for this tag !
I am wanting to find something similar to what he had, however I have not seen his rifle since I was just a child. My uncle has it now and will be sending me pics later.
Not having any experience with these old school rifles, what are the options, and what would make a good shooter today?
