I have the opportunity to buy an old Vergueiro rifle that was sporterised some decades ago. It is an 8mm Mauser rifle and looks very nicely maintained. I tried the action and it seems very nice and smooth. Is this a good rifle to buy? The asking price is exstremely low. The seller seems like a nice man and he happily admitted that he ahd never shot it and didn't know how it would shoot. As I like the relatively unusual stuff, I have been considering buying it.

Opinions / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance and good hunting!
