    M95's

    I've had good fortune to get 3 nice 7x57's with decent bores at gun shops. 2 are matching numbers on the receiver and bolt. All 3 were under $100 each. I plan to mount a scout scope on the rear sight base and have them ready with reduced lead loads for the 2 grand sons and grand daughter. Hope to get them up to speed for PA Whitetail season. Bought the Lyman 140 double mold as advised by the "Crew" here. Both boys are left eye, right hand dominate. The scout scope cures the problem as you shoot with both eyes open. Did this with my son in a M96 and it has harvested 4 WT's. It likes those LONG Lyman and Cruise Missle slugs around 1700 fps................. Captain

    Bigscot: Get yourself a table at a gun show. Milsurps are walking up and down the aisles all day hanging off guys who bought them and don't like them because they don't look like Brownings or Weatherbys. You have the advantage of being able to look them over before you buy and you can always get them for less than the owner paid for them. And there's no paperwork to go through either.

    Can't go wrong with a Mauser (actually you pretty much can't go wrong with any of them). Good luck with it!
