Was given a 300 Win Mag on A 98 Mauser action.I have shot a couple hundred rounds through it.Have taken deer bear and a moose with it.It locked up the other day with factory ammo.My gunsmith said to use it as a tomato stake.He told me the gun should have never been made with the 300 and that I was lucky it lasted as long as it did.I thought the action could take it.Anyone out there with Mauser know how with an option on this.
