I'm always leery about the German mausers. If you get a good one, great and the 8x57 is as good as anything we have in N. America. However, many of these rifles saw service in 2 World Wars and are the worse for wear. I have one that I completely restored, and it looks tremendous, but doesn't shoot worth a hoot. If you've got a good one, treasure it by all means. Best wishes.
