While most of my hunting partners prefer rifles made out of silver steel and black plastic I've got a new toy to hunt with this deer season. The first Mauser I sporterized was a 25-06 that came out pretty crudely. I ended up camoing it and it only gets used for varminting. I took my time and spent some more money on this one and it came out way better.
It's a VZ24 action with aluminum Paws bottom metal to shed a few ounces, barrel is a 22 inch Douglas chambered in 7x57mm and turned to the Winchester featherweight contour to shave a few more ounces, the stock started as a partially inletted XX grade Boyds JRS, grip and nose caps are rosewood with a thin maple spacer, Timney featherweight deluxe trigger, Conetrol rings and bases, and a 3-9x40 Leupold.
