What Caliber is it? it looks good

Yes it looks nice. I've always loved mausers. Now will it shoot ? Is a mauser action a good base for a precisoin rifle ? I would love to do one sometime.

Jesus H. Christ! What took them so long? And who did the job? That way, we can avoid them. lol.

Well this gun started my love for Mauser LR rifles, I got another project Mauser and a P14. I love them because they're strong actions and cheap...

why did it take so long?

sweeet, hope it was worth the wait. Good to see you went with the versapod in stead of the usual pos, notice that it has the steel feet instead of rubber, tactical version?

Range Report.....

Shoots close to a ragged hole at 50m but its 18-24" high, I think due to the 20MOA base I cannot bring the scope ( Bushnell 3200 ) down any lower. So I need to mount my Luepy or a Non MOA base.

 

[Silverado]

What you need to do is shoot it out farther to where you're not fighting that canted base!

I found this with my Parker Hale 1200V that has the near rail with a Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20..

I simply went out and bought a Nightforce so I can get to zero.. It is out now @ Alberta Tactical Rifles getting a new bolt handle and 8-40 screws installed for the rail.

I'll post pics when I get it back...If Robert doesn't mind...

 

[RobertMcC]

I just changed the base... Should fix the problem....
