Great job simonyzer and thanks for the opportunity guys
That is awesome, we are so happy to be contribute!Originally Posted by simonyzer
The swede got the job done on my mule buck.
A much nicer deer than that dinky whitetail.
I cut down a christmas tree with my wife and kids, and my wife says "I heard a grunt. Do deer grunt?"
A little while later, I hear a grunt too. I had a quick look around, and then packed up the family, put the tree on top of the truck, and went back home.
I came back out in the afternoon, and sat down under a spruce tree. I was watching upwind, but I heard something behind me. Sure enough, a mule buck comes out of the bush and starts walking along the hillside behind me.
I slowly pivot, and swing the old mauser around, and the buck keeps walking. I switch off the safety, and he stops dead in his tracks and looks right at me. He stood there for plenty of time for me to line up the sights, and squeeze the trigger. I heard a good thwack, and he fell over.
That Mauser is a swede, made in Oberndorf in 1899. I hope it's still killing deer in another hundred years. I've wanted to shoot a deer with it since I got it, so it's kind of a relief that I can stop dragging it around next season, and rely mostly on my Remington 700. (But, who knows. I've got a spanish mauser in 7x57 that might feel left out now...)

Wasn't the easiest thing to put on, but it looks pretty good.
