Re: Defourny 8x60 S - Belgium Sporter Mauser

While the 8x60 is an excellent round and the gun appears pristine it is a late 50's, I would imagine, rifle and nothing collectable or exceptional. The action appears to be a standard FN commercial action of the period. Given that I would probably just get dies (which are available ) and reload for it or shoot factory ammo which is available. I had a double in that caliber and was well pleased with it. The 'bombe' or magnum load is about equivalent to the 300 H&H is my understanding. The 'S' indicates it's .323 so bullets aren't a problem and I think cases can actually be made from 06 brass. On the other side of the coin it's an excellant action on which to build whatever you want. You pays your money and makes your choice.
