I am thin ing of getting a russian(battle of stalingrad) capture Karbine 98 M48. I have a friend who already has one, and it is great for all types of big game. Pretty acurate out to about 350-400 yards, then it starts to rainbow, just like any other round, but a good round nonetheless. I think he said his gun liked fedaral ammo the best, but the only problem is that it wont feed snub nosed bullets well.
