Lancaster:
I will be using my 1888 8x57 soon this sping here in Alaska. I will also be taking out the 9.3x57 for Black bear of the spring! they just eat ferns and not into the carrion or fish. The meat is good and the fur is thick and shiney.
I will be using woodleigh bullets in he 8x57 J and likely Lapua in the 9.3x57. This is a nice M46 Husqvarna. I posted after the work with scope mounting and safety, etc.
It is nice to see this post come back around. It lets me see just how much a like my old 88 Mauser Sporters.
