New rifle acquisition
      12/11/17 02:52 PM

Was lucky earlier today to trade for an older custom Mauser 93 in .300 savage. I know the general consensus is these actions are weak, but this rifle is not meant for pushing the envelope. There are 2 issues with which I need to fix, nothing hat henders the rifle inoperable, but rather cosmetically. The rifle came with a horn butt plate and grip cap, but the bone has deteriated to a point of breaking and also by means of how the previous owner I would suspect fastened them. For some ungodly reason, they had large woodscrews holding them on.

I know NECG carries buffalo horn pieces to make the aforementioned items, and I do have plans of replacing the grip cap. I do have a few questions tho; would this style rifle look good with a steel butt plate with cartridge trap or should I replace with bone as well? Again, NECG carries the butt plate as well, but open to other ideas as well. What bullets and weights would you recommend for it?
