herbertnb,
i knew that the defourny is a sporter style rifle ,just so you know when refering to a mauser sporter as a (commercial sporter), this term is usually reserved for the sporters that were built at the oberndorf factory, so not to sound like a nitpicker, even though the defourny is a sporter and probably well built ,it is not a (comm. sporter).anyway look up martini & hagn he is in canada and builds incredible sporting rifles and always has some good stuff for sale and if you like these type rifles you need jon speeds book ,it the mauser bible....paul
