I have an original Oberndorf sporting rifle 1913 vintage in mint condition.The rifle is accurate with both factory and reloads to the limit of my ability. The problem was there is no provision for a telescopic sight. Being of ancient vintage I had always hunted over open sights or for many years apature on 375 mag. With age generally winning I passed both the 375 and 300mags to my son. The Mauser is light beautifully balanced and fits great, of course I couldn't see the sights and the target. Solution a discussion with my eye specialist requesting I needed to see the sights out to 200yards like I could as a 17year old boy.. A trip to the range and the lady set up her magic machine on the rifle and 2 weeks later I had a pair of specs with the lenses balanced giving me my 17 yr old eye sight back. Shooting in thick cover this gives me instant sight on the target and allows a quick swing through on a moving animal with a 6 oclock hold. Much of my hunting has been in rain forest where a view of the animal doesn't hang around. Also I have developed a taste for Tahr and if I can get the old bones worked up may go into the tops this year to try for a few more steaks.
