When Mauser announced its 125th Anniversary Cased Rifles I was immediately attracted to them. I quickly rationalized my "want" of a brace of matching rifles in 375 H&H and 8x57 into a "must-have-to-survive dire need"....so I sold a few things and picked up the No. 1 rifle in 375 H&H and the No. 6 rifle in 8x57.
Needless to say, I am simply in awe of the exceptionally talented men and women at Mauser who did all the exquisite work on this rifle -- from the color case, the engraving, the stock work, and the fitted case work. The magnificent talents exhibited in these rifles and cases is so beyond my meager abilities that all I can do is give praise the artisans at Mauser for creating such a masterpiece, and say a hearty "Thank You!" to God for allowing me to temporarily possess these rifles while I am on His earth hunting His animals.
I hope you enjoy these pictures of the 8x57.
