Re: Mauser rifles at auctions

In the "African" model, a 6.5x68, an interesting choice of cartridge for Africa. I'd think it is more of an open plains game choice. Springbok at a distance.

The long stock "African" bushveld rifle styling, was something Harold Wolf discussed in a "Hatari Times" article. He created a similarly stocked rifle. I think in .458 or 9.3? He argued the full stock was a good design for a "jungle" carbine. And a decent wide calibre choice.
