I have enjoyed shooting my 7.65X54 mausers. I have three. An 1891 Mauser made rifle, 1891 Lowe Cav. Carbine (no bayonet attachment) and a 1909 "Mtn" Carbine made in Argentina. I also have a Buenas Aries Police S&W M&P copy revolver and Colt Systeam 1924 (1991) Auto to complement the collection. All three rifles are like commercial grade guns in finish and function. All shoot very well with my reloads. I would bring them to the field to hunt any time, as they are.
