I got a message on another Forum from a user that posted 3 years ago about a Mauser he had. I had expressed an interest and he save the information. Here is the kicker, Type M, short action, 6.5X54, double claw mounts, no scope and DST.

While I was interested, he also sent a letter from an Auction house in England that, IMHO, inflated the value to get the sale. To the owners credit he didn't ask the top dollar price but about mid way. Still might be worth the price due to the rarity. If matching scope I might be gathering funds. I have just over done it this fall with several buys the seemed to fall into my lap.

So, how rare is this rifle? Pros? Cons (other then trying to make ammo)?
