I almost forgot,,,,what for goodness sake do you need to be firing
ammunition as large as the type that the Mauser uses? Are the deer BIGGER
where you live,,, home protection, if that's what you are thinking, favors a
shotgun (that's per some cop friends, who would know).


Mauser is a type of rifle design, not a caliber. Get a clue.

It's an ACTION design. YOU get a clue.

The Mauser brothers designed a complete rifle. See

True, several attributes of the action design are what remains most
memorable and copied to this day, however, it is equally correct to say
that Mauser was a rifle design. It certainly wasn't a caliber, which is
what was the OP implied, and if you had have a brain you would have
known that.

No, this is a K-98 rifle, manufactured by the Mauser Fabrikwerk in 1943 and
sporterized in Suhl, Germany sometime after the war. Mauser rifles do, of course,
have Mauser actions.

Right,,, I got that joe-bob,,,, I was referring to the size of the
ammunition it fires.... Back in your pick-up and go back to your fortified
ground cellar and wait for 'the end'.

So, tell us, little man. What size is that?
