ONE OF THE BEST WAY TO BE KILLED IN AFRICA, same category as the Blaser and Sauer. In my country, one of the first rules about African safari : no Mauser 66, no Blasers.

My late father in law had this sort of rifle:

A MAUSER 66 (WITH DETACHABLE BARREL)but in 7x64

and a (claw-mounted not a pivot-mounted) classical Zeiss 3-12*56

designed to hunt from a highstand at nightfall. Period.

I can have this rifle & scope, I have just to ask my mother in law.
It's a short and very accurate pricey rifle.
But the safety catch is sticky and noisy, a pain in the back when ambushing game.............and the moving parts of the sophisticated telescopic action prohibits to deal with dangerous game in dusty or sandy country. If You prefer cleaning Your rifle than shooting or hunting, no reserve, this rifle was designed for You.
Do You agree?

PS: I didn't know that a 375 barrel was marketed, as well as a shocking Monte Carlo stock of yellowish wood.
