[QUOTE="MauserJoe, post: 2260830, member: 1118"] I went with the stronger Wolff spring instead. The rifle's barrel has been shortened a bit and recrowned (the Turkish troops were taught to use a cleaning rod from the muzzle, and the first couple inches of many of these barrels have damaged or non-existent rifling), the bolt has been turned down, the receiver has been drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and I have scoped it. The trigger has been worked on, and it's been more than adequate for slaying deer for the last several years. I cut down and reshaped the old Turk stock. It's a great hunting rifle, I'd just like to go through it again and make it a longer-distance shooter. When properly hand-loaded, the 8x57mm cartridge is capable of doing some surprising things.
