DO NOT MODIFY IT !!!!!

you can spend $300 turning a $200 rifle into a $75 rifle!!!

if it has already been modified, its less of an issue, its already degraded in value, but to put a scope on it usually means paying a gunsmith to bend the bolt and drill holes, you can spend more than the gun is worth to make the gun worth less than it was before you started.

if its in original configuration it is worth almost as much to a collector as a used hunting rifle.

Hornady imports or makes hunting ammo in that caliber if you want to hunt with it as-is.

set some money aside each week and you'll have enough for a new .270 or .308 by next deer season and you'll still have a nice argentince mauser too!

shoot good
