You might risk a look at Colt Sauers. Beneath the 98s and the Mauser M66 the Sauer 80/90 has always been reliable. Mannlicher Schoenauers are even better. But that's the "old stuff"...

You might have a look at "Engelsons", Falkenberg, Sweden. Great online source for reasonable priced practical hunting and outdoor clothing and gear. Engelsons AB at Falkenberg.

Besides a classic dark green loden jacket in the winter, my allround jackets for hunting in Germany have been US M65 army jackets!:D Will buy a tweed gamekeeper jacket for the coming autumn and winter. Those seem to be comfortable and durable for lots of hunting scenarios. Leather...

Could we please disagree and agree according to your kind answer, Sir?;) A full stock rifle has it's own elegance and style. But I like your kind words on the second best version which will be tested tomorrow at the range. The rifle will travel to Sweden in August for roe deer hunting and in...

Musgrave Model 98 in 9,3x62: bought a nice full stock for it online. Sadly the guy who did the inletting said that the stock had not enough wood on the frontend. So he shortened the stock. Well, I can live with that. Topped with a Zeiss 3-9x36 on swing mounts. Will get it back on wednesday.

175 grs Partitions are great! Precision and wound ballistics were top notch when used in different 7x57s on european game. Mostly factory ammo, handloads not on the fast side. Just a trusty combo.

It seems to be as if some guys are attracted to the 9,3x62 in a heartful manner.

Update: The 9,3x62 for our daughter was delivered yesterday. In fact it's a rifle built by H. Struckmeier in Hamburg on request of the former owner. Struckmeier, known for high end bespoke rifles, didn't sign this rifle because it was to basic, no frills. At least that's what the seller told me...

Am actually waiting for today's delivery: a Frankonia Favorit driven hunt rifle model 98, 9,3x62, Zeiss 1,5-6x42, reticle 4 which I won at eGun for a song. Has a little surface rust and obviously a dry stock. Copper wool, Ballistol and stock oil on hand for a workover. Will be our daughter's gun...

This!

Bought mine on amazon. Put a bag of it into a 5 litre container of linseed oil. Use it as needed, mixed with mineral spirits or pure. On gunstocks, furniture or even the wooden floor. Like it a lot!

@Russ16: From time to time there are stocks for Sauer Model 80/90 auctioned on the platform eGun.de. This could be an option to solve your problem. Might require some work but shouldn't be too much, I guess. Prices vary from around 350€ to about 600.
