Re: my modern take on a mauser 98
a) i prefer wooden stock for a hunting rifle, especially when i tend to give it on (which my old man will, as will i with mine). wood is just ... different.
b) out of curiousity or maybe an interesting suggestion: in my area we tend to have our initials carved into a silver piece, which is mounted to the bottom of the pistol grip. so ... the rifle of my old man will always hold 'DM' in carved letters at the bottom. and (maybe in 60 years) my kids will say 'look, the first rifle i was hunting with - the one with the DM, it has been the one from grandpa'
