Listen not to the heathens for they shall have you buying Remchesters. This is my 1891 Mauser sporter, I was actually just out shooting development loads this morning which I posted in the My Favorite Loads forum. This was sporterized in the '50's supposedly by Williams, peep sight, carved and checkered original stock.



I'm keeping my loads low pressure, using Reloader 15 at present, and getting 2230 FPS average with a 180 grain Speer. This load shot 3 shots into .205" center to center at 50 yards this morning. I think if you keep in mind these should not be rebarreled into high pressure rounds they will work very well. Graf loads 7.65 Argentine now and told me their loads were perfectly fine for an 1891 model.



And sorry, but I don't know where any decent ones are for sale right now, if I run across any I'll let you know.

Pretty. I have seen a couple of Mannlicher-Haenel 8X57J's (GEW 88 commercial rifles) that were given a similar treatment. They were also beautiful.
