Well It finally got here a couple days ago. I am very happy with my acquisition. It shoots a 2"group at 200yds. If I had a sling to sling up with it would have been better I think.
Lemme know whut ya thank Guys and Gals.

I have one made at the same plant. Pretty nice for a German military K98. Would of been nice if they put the same kind work into German military rifles like they did with the South American contract rifles.

The Contract rifles were not made with slave labor. The German military rifles were.
