Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Hi there! M1917 Enfield action in a sporter stock.

High scope-mounts with a peep-sight under, old sight-protective leaves gone.

Very smooth, fast, and accurate. Cock on closing, like Lee actions, but with Mauser 98 rib and front lugs.

Great big solid receiver. Unburstable. But, too long for trenches.

The one gun I really, really, really regret selling.

From 130 grains up to 220s.

Every other Mauser action rifle I had went tight quickly on feral pigs in mobs.

The only other gun I retain affection for was a very light-weight Parker-Hale Mauser '98 action in .243 Win which I took a few deer with - including Sambar - down in SE coastal / Great Dividing Range cold rain-forest.
