I bet 1/4 of the people here are from Texas. If you live near Houston, check out Jim Pruett's store, on Huffmeister, near Hwy 290. I like your idea of getting a good, large caliber bolt action. They are accurate, powerful, and good for hunting any large game around here. 8mm is also readily available. One thing to remember about Mausers, do not try to chamber ammo by hand; it has to come from the magazine. You can damage the extracter if you try to treat the gun like a single shot rifle.
