Finished

 That commercial Mauser 98 that I bought several months ago is finished.  I didn't have to do much to it, and I was taking my time, but it is finished and it's time to pass it along.


It's been gone through and it ha a new Vortex scope.  From here, it's up to grandson to sight it in and get ready for its next evolution.  I believe that the rifle is sound, and the 6.5 Swede is absolutely sufficient for our local whitetail deer.  Now, it's up to him to make it his own.

It’s kind of funny that this new generation are obsessed with 6.5-6.8 rounds. It’s like they haven’t heard of 6.5 Swiss, .243 Win or .257 Robert’s. History is a flat circle.

Or the 270 Winchester. That rumble you're feeling is Jack O'Connor turning over in his grave.
