It's been a while that I posted here, because I am still in my infancy concerning the knowledge of the Parabellum P08. Been reading every day though, and learning a TON.
Something prompted me to post here today. EXCELLENT article by the OP, and I read it with a lot of interest. ONE thing sounded "funny" to me. The article states that one of the hitmen was armed with K98, and the shot would've been difficult, because this rifle is good "only to about 300 meters". I must admit I never shot the K98, but.......just returned from the "outing" in the mountains, where I regulary shoot Yugoslavian M48, out to 600+ meters with great accuracy. And it's not even scoped. Since I don't want to alter the weapon in any way, (and I detest "scout" scopes) this little gem will never be scoped as long as I'm alive, but IF I was to scope it, I am POSITIVE I could "bang the gong" at a much longer distance.
So what's this nonsense about K98 being "unfit for anything over 300"?
