Do a little research on the WWII German rifle round. Man it just kills me when you think this beautiful 8mm should get it's nuts cut off by making it a 7.62. 308 will give me plenty of surplus ammo, off the shelf match ammo and plenty of reloading components. Factory ammo is weak because of some old mausers having a slightly small bore and companies are afraid of lawsuits, so switching to. I really like the 8mm Mauser, but good, full power surplus ammo is getting hard to find, as well as reloading components. Uncle Mikes Quick Disconnect sling swivels and military style leather sling. Winchester 70 style safety modification. German Mauser K98 8mm action and barrel. Millet Angle-Loc Weaver style 30mm rings. Leatherwood Hi-Lux 4-16x50 Uni-Dial 30mm ATR Rifle Scope. Boyds Gunstocks Classic Laminated stock, Nutmeg. The rifle is mostly completed, I still have to work some more on extending the original bolt handle and adding a cheek raiser. Some people do not think that the old 8mm Mauser cartridge is capable of being accurate enough for long distance, but I think it is a matter of how good the shooter is and how well he know his equipment. I stripped the thing down, refinished all the vintage metal with Duracoat, changed the scope and mounting system, the stock, trigger and the old Mark II safety.
It also had a scope, and the usual sporterizing mods found on those. Some time ago, while looking for some vintage military rifles, I found a German k98 Mauser action and barrel, in awesome shape, mounted on a crappy stock. First of all, Hello to all the Sniper's Hide community!
