Finally had my 8x68S regulated and sighted in. This is my "large plains game"-rifle, built on a military action from the Oberndorf factory in 1939. 26" barrel from Lothar Walther which really groups nice with my preferred 220gr Woodleigh PP's at 2850 fps.

Hello Metric - This has finished up very nicely. What is the trigger you have used,its set in the bow "just right".

Cheers - Foster

Hello Foster!

ThanksSmiler Not quite a beauty, but pretty good handling and the right "feel" to her..

Not sure about the name of the trigger, it's a German copy of the Timney-trigger. It has better options for adjustment, according to my gunsmith. Think it's all-steel construction.

When I'm not hunting with one of my drillings or double rifles I sure do love my custom Mauser's.
Yours is very nice you should be proud of that one.
A nice rifle when your hunting just makes the whole expireance feel much better.
