My search is over - my newly acquired 11.2x72 Schuler Mauser

Hello All,

By now you have seen my post about the 11mm Johan Peterlongo Mauser, and my disappointment in finding it was actually an 8x57I - and not an 11mm. (see that post here) http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=374431&an=0&page=0#Post374431

Well, jgrabow a fellow Forum member on this forum, saw my plea that very same day of my post. He emailed me and generously offered to sell me his 11.2x72 original Schuler that he purchased about 15 years ago. Turns out he was also from Wisconsin. The next day I jumped in the car and drove 5 hours north to meet him. What a wonderful man. I must give a big shout-out THANK YOU to him for passing-on this wonderful treasure.

The rifle is now in its new home here with me. Here is the original ad from when he purchased the rifle. He took very good care of it and its still in the same remarkable condition as when he bought it. The rifle came with RCBS reloading dies, 35 loaded rounds, 12 empty brass, and 475 assorted bullets consisting of 125 Woodleigh, 125 SAF Raptors, and 225 assorted softs and solids.

As a side note, jgrabow also has a gorgeous 10.75x68 type B Mauser for sale.

As always, your comments are welcome.
