I have this 1891 Argentine Mauser that's been sporterized. The barrel has been cut down -4 inches I'd say. The stock was taken down with it 6 inches behind the step in the barrel. There is a different front sight on it and even with all this... I love it to death. I would like to turn it into a better hunting rifle and a more handsome rifle then it already is by adding a scope to it, refinishing it and either replacing the stock or refinishing the one on it. (Wood is very dark and very nice but heavily used) My only fear is I would make it too nice and have to go get a new hunting rifle.
Thoughts? And has anyone ever put a scope on one of these to say how study the bases are? (for a scout scope mounting)
