That's a 30-06? Dang... it looks smaller than that. The model 70 was a blind guess. From this angle they all look the same.

In your defense, it looks a LOT more like a Model 70 up close too! But it's most definitely a Mauser, Model 98 (commercially manufactured large ring receiver).

I came "close" to having it chambered for 300 WinMag, but I didn't want something that killed in front and maimed behind. :-). I only weigh about 145lbs soaking wet!...so I went with .30-06.

It's a SWEET shooter. :-)
