This is an interesting video showing the accuracy of an eighty plus year old rifle setup. The shooter/spotter team know how to put rounds on target. Though antiquated, vintage surplus Mauser rifles can be deadly accurate. I have seen similar from scoped '03 Springfield and 91/30 Mosin Nagant rifles. As a note, I did not watch past the k98 segment.
The difference in capabilities between a modern snipe rifle and a K98 or 1903 Springfield is minimal...at best. The skill of the user is by far the biggest variable.
ReplyDeleteA model 98 Mauser 8mm was my first deer rifle. I bought it at an estate auction for 75 or 80 dollars.
