I took my Danzig Mauser in 8x57JS and my Ruger super Blackhawk stump shooting and dirt bank shooting rove yesterday. My daughter was rabbit hunting. while I just wanted an excuse to carry and shoot the new acquisitions.

The 6.4 pound Mauser was an absolute joy to carry. The trigger is 7.1 pounds. with the set it was 12.9 ounces. Great for target shooting but too light for the field. Although the set trigger gave the best accuracy.

The peep sight was dead nuts with the Hornady match ammo. And an inch high and right with the soft point S&B ammo.

I like the worn steel and wood. And love the amazing accuracy for a 110 year old rifle.

The Ruger was a pleasure to shoot and very accurate also. Fun, fun

If that old Mauser could talk…

Hope your daughter was successful with the rabbits.
 
Walking your own land with a classic gun and your kid hunting with you...fantastic.
