Default Almost like getting a new rifle!

Went to the Bud haynes auction today in Reddeer. I picked up a new wood stock for a mauser Mark X. I have a Mauser Mark X in 7X57 that I have not shot in some time. My wife hunts with it. Well when I got home I took the Manlichner stock off the Mark X and slipped the action into the new stock.

Looks like a new gun and now I can't wait to get to the range and shoot it. I'd planned to get the stock shortened a bit with the recoil pad on it so it fits my wife but I will do some shooting with it first and maybe take a supplemental white-tail with it just for fun.

Oh there was a Browning Auto 5 in 3 in. mag. that sold for $375.00, that I sort of should have had a run at. Also a Sako Vixen in .222 that was "cute". And a Huskvarna "light weight" in .308 that was nice to look at. And....
