Welcome aboard GunCheck. I love that tunnel range, but I would probably get claustrophobia if I shot at that range.

I went through an 8mm Mauser phase where I owned a russian capture franken K98 and a spanish mauser M43.
I thought they were both fine accurate-enough rifles. Both were my back up elk rifle at one time or another.

I always thought that the WW1 were too long to be aesthetically pleasing (or to fit in my safe...)
Happy Shooting.
