I already have a 233 rem bolt action and i know everybody has their pet round for varmints 223 rem, 204 ruger, 220 swift and so on.
the thing is i have a m96 mauser that took me years to find it's still set up as it came from the factory in the early 1900's other than the timney trigger and burris scout scope.
this rifle will shoot 1/2" to 3/4" 3 shot groups at 100 yards all day long with good ammo.
I'm sending the rifle off to a custom bench rest builder builder and am wondering if it can double as my coyote/deer rifle ???
looking for some input from the old timmer swede fans /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif will this rifle shoot the lighter varmint bullets 80 to 100 grains.
the gunsmith is going to keep it as close to original issue as possible shorting the factory barrel & recrown, change the bolt to clear scope, cock on opening, drill and tap receiver glass bed the stock if possible if not new laminated stock.
any input would be greatly appreciated
thanks for your time
