Looking for a second-hand classic stalking rifle in 30-06. Ideally wooden stock and blued barrel etc.

Nothing on Guntrader really jumping out at the moment...

Looking at lots of different options some cheaper and others more expensive so please do drop me a message if you have something you're looking to sell!

Thanks,
Jack
 
Ooh, proper classic, CRF too.

I picked mine up from Joel Dorleac. Fantastic rifle - let down by the mag box insert and follower quality. Raceway was as rough as a weegie lass, and stock completely unsuitable for using a scope. Cartridges had a tendency to jump ahead of the claw on feeding unless the rifle was held horizontal, if point down when loading, game over.. However!!! With some polishing and fine tuning and a leather custom cheek riser, it became a cracker of a hunting rifle. I shot mine mostly open sights.


Sold it later on, with the view that it’s a great DSB m98 clone, but it’s not a real Mauser. I had to have it to try it, and I’m glad I did. If I got another, it would be to use the receiver for a custom, but a Brno mod 21 would be even finer for that.

That’s disappointing to read. His rifles look gorgeous and don’t come cheap
 
It’s not a 30-06. I have retired from shooting and trying move on my rifles Sauer 90 in 6.5 x 57 wood stock blued barrel not screw cut for moderator it’s a tidy accurate rifle all reloading gear. Price free to a good home.
I had the exact same rifle and calibre. Outstanding build quality and handy features such as chambered round indicator.
Should never have parted with it.
