I just inherited my wife's Fathers guns , her brother and cousin had them for the past 20 years (her Father passed away 20 yrs ago) and her brother doesnt hunt - lucky me ! Anyway they are a 7mm Mauser-modified with fold-over scope-bolt action, a 12ga Remington Auto-Loader and a little 22 Pump which is missing the rod to hold the shells in . Her brother shot 1 deer with the Mauser and when it bailed/cried he gave up hunting . I have'nt shot any of them yet and have no experience with 7mm , I am thinking of using it this season or just sticking with the good ole 30/30 Winchester . Any Thoughts welcome !
