Thanks for the report Steve...I had one of the Argentine Mauser carbines once... it was a very nice rifle, but it had been rechambered for 30-06 from 7.65mm Mauser so it was not more than hunting accurate... maybe 5 MOA because the bore diameter was .311 instead of .308... I eventually moved on to a Steyr Mannlicher SSG in .308 for hunting... now THAT is a tackdriver... It still holds its place in my safe even though I don't hunt anymore...
