I’m just going to guess that I am the only person my age (23) who watches “Combat!” but I know that some of you have watched it.
The last episode I watched, Vic Morrow faced a German adversary who was a former big game hunter. He carried a Mauser stalking rifle, with a scope in claw mounts, and double set triggers.
I know this was just Hollywood, but I wonder if any officers carried their personal hunting rifles? There is a good chance many of them would even be chambered in 8x57, making ammunition easily available.
I just thought this would be a good topic for some Sunday afternoon chitchat.
