			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.
