I was at a Friends Establishment the other night and spot an unusual Rifle..."I won't sell that one to you" was the bait, and I took it.
Mauser 66S that was used by the Italians as a Sniper Rifle, has a Zeiss Diavari-DA 1.5+6x scope on it.
The action is quite intriguing, in that the bolt is carried by a machined block so the whole thing opens/closes in two stages, really exposes the magazine follower.
Turns out I didn't buy that one, my best friend did, then the bastard says "I've got another one on top of that shelf" so he set the hook on both of us.
If I can figure out a way to post pictures I will.
So, what did I get myself into besides a very expensive bench rifle?
Pretty much looks exactly like the one in this listing, except it has the original scope bases/rings, and a second slotted top ring half that I've no idea what goes on.
