A seasoned young hunter in the Keystone State last month was able to bag an impressive bear by any measure with a single shot. Not only was it a mature sow that dressed out at 138 pounds, but it also was a rare albino as well.

This Turkish 8mm Mauser, dating back to 1938, is an inexpensive and collectable rifle that is still more than capable of taking almost any medium to large game on the North American continent as-is.

Its important to clean your hunting rifle every quarter if you havent used it, and after each trip to the field or range. The primarily area of attacking the burnt carbon, metal shavings, and corrosive primer chemicals left behind by every range or field session is the barreled action. With a safe and unloaded weapon, with no brass or ammo around, remove your bolt and set it to the side.
