Yep, I have a M48A and M24/47. Great rifles.
I really like the 8mm Mauser round.

Paul Mauser was a true genius. Think of this - that same basic design is still today the standard for fine hunting rifles and superb sniper rifles! The essential design was originally conceived in the 1880's!
The beloved 1898 action was merely one of many improvements on the essential action design.
