An 8x57MM Egyptian Hakim

Yard Sales are my usual fare on Saturdays. Yesterday I found a 8mm Hakim in Excellent condition for $175.00. I test fired it on the backyard range and it fed and fired flawlessly. It shoot high about 6 inches at 100 yards. I am thinking to have a guy build up the front sight a bit with a dab of weld, or just hold under.

The bore is pristine and shooting high can be easily corrected. One more project before Winter.
