Do what you want with your stuff. For me; it's only original once, and the savage axis is pretty darned cheap. Do you think you ended up with a more useful rifle than the savage?

Yeah. It doesn't have a magazine with a plastic clip on it, shoots just as good, and has family history behind it.

An unknown American GI brought back a 1917 GEW98, that had been rebarelled in the 1930's by the German Army, hacked the stock up and put a rubber recoil pad on it to turn it into a "deer rifle."

Thanks, pal. I was able to get an $800 Mauser for $188 including tax.
Shoots great.
