Mauser 98 in 10.75x68

[buckstix]

Hello CAustin,

Thanks for the reply.

I purchased this rifle, along with a Custom Mauser in 505 Gibbs, about 4 years ago. They came from a the estate of the hunter who brought them back from Africa around the year 2001.

You do seem to find some nice rifles! How big is your collection now?

Hello CAustin,

I'm happy to say; "I don't know". When I see something I like I buy it. (If I can afford it)

I actually have more of an accumulation than a collection. I like BIG BORES, I like DOUBLE RIFLES, and I especially like those with STORIES to tell.

When you know, how many rifles you have,... you do not have enough....

All that brass makes me jealous!! That is the hold up in mt build. No return emails from either Horneber retailer in Europe, no word from Huntington. Two American companies are back ordered with no idea on production. Soft Bertram is the only option still.

Frankly I'm getting really tempted to scrap the 10.75x68mm and go with the 404. It'll cost more on gunsmithing, but at least I can get components at the drop of a hat.
