“98 mauser”

Like all hunting guns, dangerous game rifles must be able to strike with precision for clean, ethical kills.

If you’re looking for a rifle of larger diameter than your deer gun, which will complement the 7mms and .30s well, the 9.3x62mm Mauser should be a definite contender.

Old is not dead, and though the 8x57 has had to endure vast improvements in cartridge design, powder development and bullet performance, it remains a perfectly viable hunting cartridge.
