Mauser 98 7x57 test fire completed. For 92 years old it shoots well. It only has minor trouble engaging the extractor on some cranks of the action when loading a round slowly. Solved by being firm. #thehunternz #Mauser #Mauser98 #Rigby #johnrigbyandco #rifles #gunsmith #handcrafted #gunmaker #guns #hunting #biggame #biggamehunting #jimcorbett #rifle #shooting #gun #range #gunrange #shooting
