If I wanted an 06 I would get the original, an M98 in 8X57, now that is a classic.

Agreed, Greg.
...but there will always be room in my gunsafe, beside the 8x57 Walter Locke-retailed Type B Mauser 98, for a pre-'64 Model 70 Super-Grade in .30-06, the "Rifleman's Rifle".

I'm just a sucker for all the classics! ...no matter where they originate!


To me, 300 RUMs just sounds like a big night out on the piss!!
