It took down quite a few PA groundhogs in it's tenure with me, even though it should really have wheels on it for hunting. Anything you can tell me about this would be great, it has been one of my finest shooters and I have no intention of seeing it go anywhere. The target shown is a five shot group @ 100yds and is typical of what this gun is capable of, not sure I can do it anymore, but the gun can, lol.

What a great rifle. That is exactly the type of rifles I am talking about. I love the 220 Swift, the swift was the first varmint rifle I ever owned. Your Mauser is a commercial action judging by the bolt shroud and 2 screws on the rear right side of the action. If there are no markings on the action, the shape of the thumb safety may shed some light on it.
