[Mauser]

How do you like that Bob AI? I've often thought that I need a quarter bore and that's the one I gravitate towards. Likely has something to do with my penchant towards Mausers and Mauser cartridges. An acquaintance showed up a couple years ago with a Kurtz 98 Mauser from the 20s that he'd picked up at a gun show. It had a very nice guild style walnut stock with decent figure, claw mounts and a vintage German scope, tasteful if not reserved scroll engraving and sported buffalo horn butt plate, grip cap and a little schnabel forend. It was chambered in 257 Bob. He refused to sell it to me, but I'll keep working on him.

I like it quite a bit. It is built on a 98 FN Supreme Mauser. Ive got a standard 257 Roberts on a nazi 98, and a Ruger no1. The FN is the prettiest though. I don’t hot rod the Ackley, and get about 100fps more than the standard ones.

My 280 AI is on a Smith Corona 1903A3 Springfield. I feel like we may have similar tastes.

I don't own any 03s, but I'm willing. 3 custom 98 Mausers.
