Very nice!

That piggie definitely deserves a place of prominence on your wall.

Lorenzo, that is a mannlicher stocked mauser 98, chambered in 35 whelen (30-06 necked up to 35 caliber). It was smithed by a local guy by the name of Wayne Barnett. He was active in the 60's and 70's in the area in which I live in Texas. When I saw the rifle, it was lust at first sight. Although it is as close as it comes to a safe queen, I carry it afield and shoot it. Here are a couple more photos.

Gorgeous works just fine Lorenzo! The lines of that rifle are sweet. Geedubya, hope you don't mind but pictures of that stock are going in my "wish" file! BTW, Very nice boar and mount.

PS Tannerite vs Mannlicher? In this instance I believe your weapon of choice was perfect!

Beautiful rifle--the wood is fantastic! Set trigger and an all-around excellent big game cartridge. That hog would look good in a bar in Razorback Country, and some places in Texas, too. Big Grin

Steve,

Last April I took a 5 day ride with about 20 other old farts. We started at El Dorado, moseyed up to Eureka Springs, then back down. Rode about 200 miles per day. An Ozark kinda thing. I really enjoyed Arkansas, both the scenery and the people.

Great mount and a fine rifle, Geedubya.
