Very nice DD. Good luck with it and hope it proves to be a wonderful rifle to use. Taking an elk with one, how classic!

There also was another similar in Germany, bit fancier that had been rechambered to 8 x5 7 JRS and the rib cut and claw scope mounts fitted. To butcher an old antique sporting rifle like this-tasteless. Beautiful rifle, ruined!

I wonder? Such a beautiful rifle. How much is due to a "restoration" and how much is original.

I wonder if the new calibre and rechambering to 8x57R is due to a worn or shot out bore? A slightly larger rebored rifle rechambered? Might have been nice if so, to make up a .375/303 or similar or a .375 NE if possible. But perhaps 8x57R was done to ensure factory ammunition was possible. At least the 8x57R is another similarly aged classic cartridge.

Such a beautiful rifle. If still in .303 how perfect. I could cope with it in 8x57R if one had one however.
