I agree. One of my biggest thrills is one or both times each year when I pack up my .303SMLE, my M96 Swedish Mausers and a M98 German Mauser and head for the range with them. I'm amazed how well these old rascals shoot. I've got newer and more acurate rifles, but somehow they never give me the joy the old military rifles do. I was too young for WWII but really love shooting the rifles of that period. Best wishes.
