Took mauser to the range

[Pig4000]

Just picked it up at the post office and figured ill see how she runs.

170GR core-lokt SP
100 yards

Better loads, and rest should tighten up the group.






Found a bunny at the range gate

Still decent.

Nice looking rifle. Code? Year?

 

[Barthom]

Nice!

 

[jbmauser]

Nice looking k98k for sure. Yugo capture?

Love the rabbit.

 

[Canadian_Soldier246]

y is it still alive? lol

 

[BeaverMeat]

Feed that good looking rifle to some proper ammo. None of this sissy SAMMI Remm-nothing-is-better-then-the-30-06-ington

Sellier & Bellot 8x57. Best factory ammo I have shot so far.

Cycles smooth, accurate, and loaded very hot. Packs a wallop!

Been getting tight 1" groups on average. (scoped)

Oh yes, nice rifle... again.

Where did you get such a nice Mauser?

 

[Pig4000]

Yep its a Yugo capture, got it off the EE. Local shop only had core-lokt junk, next time im in Edmonton ill pick up some S&B.

 

[jbmauser]

So does it have the Yugo crest or are the original German maker and year still visible?

You would be better off with a round black target with iron sights.
A white center in the black would help further.

Thanks for the info, will have to give it a try.

Very nice rifle.

At one point I was stuck buying rem ammo for the 8mm mauser. It was good for the brass at least.

Handloading this cartridge really makes it shine.
