I am looking at things all over the place. I am drooling over rifles I am not going to buy.
Tell me what ya think of the new Mauser M03 It just came on the market last month. Bet it costs an arm and a leg though.
Really nice looking.I'm not a big gun or rifle person. I have owned two. A 22 rifle and a 12 gauge Winchester shotgun. The 22 I ended up giving to a friend when it had a few problems and he fixed it up. The shotgun I bought in 1974 and still have it.
Don't forget about eBay. A friend got me interested in them because he bought and sold stuff there. You can pick up good stuff and at a bargain. I was looking for a digital camera and was watching some of the auctions for an HP 318 digital camera that sells for $150-$175 new. They were going for $70-$90 plus shipping on eBay ($8-12 for shipping). Every time I'd bid on one, I'd get outbid at the very last minute, and they would pick it up for around $90. So finally I bid on another one (at the LAST minute of the auction) and finally won. It was like brand new with ALL the stuff (software, cable, etc.). And I got it for $66 plus $9 shipping. I was a happy camper. The guy shipped it the next day and it's doing great still.
Anyway, good luck on your quest for a hunting rifle !! ...
