Re: Mauser 6.5x57mm

Back to the 6.5x57. Just arrived, unboxed and better than I thought from the photos. Happy Camper.
Terrific trigger, bore looks new and bolt face appears not shot a lot. Ran a nylon brush down the bore with Ed's Red, waited
a few minutes followed by a tight patch - came out with a bit of brownish dust is all. Next patch spotless.
The stock looks as if it might have gotten wet a few times, but that's it.
Scope has windage adjustable rear base and is of the 3 heavy post reticle with blunt-ish pointed one in the middle.
Sharp and clear.
Now to find brass for it. Local store had none and I have to wait for my bro to come back from the lake with my wallet. I forgot it there.
Can't buy anything, let alone brass. Gun fits well. I really like the heads-up stance when shouldering the rifle, yet a good chunk of jaw &
cheek rests on the cheek-piece.
9" ROT.
