Hello All, Thank you All for the interesting reply.
I'm really excited about owning such a Classic Mauser. It's from a time in History when German hunters used rifles like these in South Africa. Some say many more rifles like these than their British counterparts. Although controversy still continues about this caliber, its because of past bullet shortcomings. Modern bullets and powders available today, make it a viable Big Game rifle. Good quality bullets available from Hornady like the 400g Softs and Solids, can reach 2200 fps. The 10.75x68 is truly the baby brother to the 10.75x73. (404 Jeffery)
Its been my job to keep the elephant population under control here in Wisconsin, ..... and I've been doing a good job.
