kuduae,
well if you ever want to get rid of that piece of "junk" send it to me!
To me it certainly is a very business like stalking rifle &shoots alright too for a hunter.
Yes It may be pitted below the stock, but hey you rescued another fine piece of Mauser history from the scrap cheap - with a bit of TLC it'll last another 80+ years.
Fantastic job I reckon!
Cheers
