It's a darned well built, rugged, reliable, and powerful rifle. If you can scare one and a few tins of 8MM ammo up I'd say go for it.
Try Mitchells Mausers to start with. They've got some very nice ones.
The other rifle that is very well built are the Swede Mausers in 6.5x55.
Thank you. That’s a great resource for them.
