[Steiner]

I'm starting to looking for an large ring 8mm Mauser. I don't know much about the technical specs on them. Are all 8mm Mausers of the large ring design?

I did a search on large rings and found this reply by 'dan belisle' here on CGN:

as far as military rifles go, the only small ring 8mm's i can think of off the top of my head are the VZ33, G33/40, and the kar98az, none of these are commonly encounted.

tradex does have some sporters based on the small ring 96 action in 8mm.
