Hmmm. . . resting the barrel on a wooden block, using a Leapers scope. .
Jon, I'd go to someone other than that guy, for expert advice.
I'm not aware of any WW2 era 98 Mausers chambered for the Russian 7.62x54R cartridge. It could have happened, I suppose- the Germans used all kinds of captured weapons. But, that's the thing: they captured umpteen million Moisin Nagants at the beginning of the war with Russia. Why would they need to chamber 98's for the catridge- they could just use the captured rifles, if they had some reason to use that catridge.
Poland did use the Mauser 98K, but it was chambered in 8x57- the same cartridge the Germans used.
I really, really, REALLY doubt that the expert you ran into had what he said he had.
