I've long been an admirer of the work of Johann Springer of Vienna.
The Mauser '98s that Springer made just don't seem to garner as much admiration as the other rifles the firm offered.
So, the opportunity to purchase this rifle came up and I thought it would be a good time to see just what the deal is with these rifles.
I hope to get it out to shoot soon. Seems like a very nice classic to me!
