I loved my Oberndorf 1935 Brazilian Mauser rifle that I bought back in '75. Got it in unissued, mint condition from me favorite LGS for
135.oo before tax. He had a couple of crates of them that came in from one of the Canadian distributors back then. That rifle was the
most beautifully made and accurate milsurp I've ever seen & used. I knew back then the beasty was a treasure not to alter or mess with.
Held 'er for 3yrs before foolishly moving 'er on.
She was just like this one below, but without a mark on 'er.

Everyone has a preference... fullstocks really fit the eye of some shooters, others don't care for them, but prefer sporter style rifles... some like European stock geometry, some prefer American lines... some like walnut and blued, others prefer stainless in synthetic or laminate... personally... I like them all.
Think I’m detecting a slight preference for Ruger?
^ ain’t that the truth lol.
My son’s girlfriend decided she wanted to try deer hunting. The best low recoil candidate in my stable is a cooper 21 in 6x47 rem. She was doing her best to be careful so I tried really hard not to visibly cringe watching her newby gun handling skills.
She got her first buck yesterday, whew.

Great cartridge. I have a 40x in it, great little shooter. - dan
Had one of those, and a few other South American Mausers (and Mexican) back in the day. Made some nice sporters out of most of them, but the really nice examples I couldn't bring myself to tear apart so sold them on. Nice rifles. - dan
I really like the lines of the European rifles like Sauer, Heym SR 21 and 30's or the new Anschutz model 1782D with the German hogsback stock and shenoble (my spelling sucks) forend.
I liked the Anshutz 1782D in 30-06 so much I ordered one yesterday! It should arrive on Wednesday. I can hardly wait!
