Agreed.
There is nothing visibly wrong with it.
Clean and enjoy.
Ammunition may be a problem.
You need 7mm Mauser, also known as 7x57. You do NOT need 7mm Magnum or any of half a dozen other cartridges with 7mm bullets.
Grafs.com shows Federal brand in stock but it is still over a dollar and a half a shot, $32.99 a box of 20. Ouch.
Midwayusa.com only has one brand, Nosler, the most expensive, in stock. $52 a box. BAD Ouch.
When they get some Privi Partizan back in, it is "only" $16 a box.
There will be noticeable recoil. It isn't like a .22. This is, or was, a military rifle meant to put an enemy down as far as you could see him. It is a very good medium game gun, suitable for about any animal in North America except the big bears.
