I have one..in .243..It is very accurate..I haven't had any real problem with it. The trigger is useable, but that about it, and I've never heard of anyone doing any work on them. There some drawbacks to it..There is no provision for removing the bolt, to do so, one has to take the bolt handle off first, there's a small allen screw in the bolt handle (allen wrench comes with the rifle)..usually is the rifle is unmolested the little plastic peice in the bolt handle, covering up the allen screw will still be present. Another issue is parts...This was the LAST rifle Mauser made before going out of business, as far as I know, there is a company in Europe That bought ALL the known parts for these rifles, things like extractors, firing pins, barrels, are getting very difficult to find. and to my knowlege no one is making any replacements..These are fine rifles, and some like mine have georgous walnut stocks, But knowing what I know now about them, I'd pass..There just isn't any support for them at all, and that could make the difference between it being a useable rifle 10-20yrs from now, or a wall hanger..
There's a race of men who don't fit in, A race that can't stay still, So, they break the hearts of kith and kin, and roam the world at will..
