Hello Vegard,

I have aquired a 8x68S full stock rifle based on a Mauser 98 system.

The gundealer knows the last user and asked the same question!

The user said that the rifle was intended for hunting plains game in Namibia and he wanted to be pretty sure that the rifle suffered no damage to the barrel in case of rough handling, so he ordered a full stock for protection of the barrel.

The rifle shoots pretty good, so it worked...

best regards
Rolf
