About moon ago I looked at one of those ole' custom Mauser actioned 'Knockabout' beauties. It was .404(-R)NEJ by Hoffman Arms Co. from OK, USA. Plain rifle built for a 'White Hunter'. It came with 2 boxes of ammo with waxed paper still inside. That guy gave me whole scoop about this Co. from marine Hoffman of Fredericksburg Va>>>OH?>>>OK....? If I had 9k to spare I would have bought it, but....
Hey, if I had 20K to spare I would give "Herr Sauerkraut" a call and make a deal on that unknown to me "Welchie Man gun". If you find something better made in "NY country barn" I luv to see it.
