The small ring Mauser build thread has got me thinking that I want a classic bolt action hunting rifle. My original plan was to buy a barreled Spanish Mauser action and dress it up, make it look nice, and possible have the barrel rebored to 35-300 Savage if possible. That was before I found out from RustyReel that I could buy a classic 9x57 or 9.3x57 rifle for much cheaper than I could build a gun off one of those actions.
So tell me about these rounds. They sound like they would be great for whitetail, and I've been wanting to start casting for .35 cal.
