Texas Hog Hunting with Spanish Mauser 1916

I was using my Spanish M1916 chambered in 7X57 (7mm mauser) #boltactionrifle #gunreview #hunting #gun #history #mauser

The scenery reminds me of that artillery battery scene on Band of Brothers.

You eat the piggies? Impressive hitting the little ones at distance with those sights. I had one in 7.62 nato

Thanks man, yeah I eat them mostly BBQ or pot roast

The front sight post on the Spanish 1916 Mauser is very pretty for some reason.

[@texascastblast5011]

It gives a great sight picture

How did the 7x57 do compared to 8x50R?

[@texascastblast5011]

Recoil is a little more stout since it’s a carbine but grouping is a lot tighter

[@Historydownrange]

@@texascastblast5011 That's interesting. I wouldn't have expected the 7x57 to recoil more, even in a carbine. I'm assuming you were shooting bullets in the 139-141gr range

[@texascastblast5011]

@@Historydownrange I actually got my hands on Federal 180gr shoots like a chap, I don’t have a carbine M95 but I notice the carbines have a lot more recoil

​@@texascastblast5011 180gr in a 7x57 is a great choice. SD of 3.3ish?

Nice shooting
