Indecision
It was all going to be so simple … following on from last weeks post about building a semi-custom .17 rig, I was simply going to indulge my Compulsive Firearms Purchasing Disorder, get the credit card out & phone up my dealer - & I use the term ‘dealer’ in every sense of the word because it is he that feeds my addiction.
Anyway, one last quick look on the netty thing & then pick up the phone … when I stumbled upon this
a Mark 3 Short Slide Rail Mount for a Mauser K98 … oh dear, doubts start to form in my already troubled head … & it transpires that he also has one of these
for sale as well …complete with the claw mounts … confussion reigns.& then elsewhere I find this very smart looking K98 in 7.92mm
…… OOOOOOOOMG! In the words of Sir Henry Rawlinson
I don’t know what I want, but I want it NOW!

It was .17HMR Martini custom jobs two days ago! I hate to think what you'd be like on a trip to Hamleys!

It's very important to maintain a zest for particularities and things like claw-mounts and rings of correct height, even if it means buying the proper rifle to fit under them!

Think you got problems my RFD has just offered me a Steyr SSG P1 in .308. I can't afford it don't have a slot for it. Don't have a scope for it but I'm in love.
I thought you had one of these already. Anyway I think you should buy a .22 WMR just the thing for the boy to learn the trade on.
