Wow. I can't imagine needing that rifle "as a hiker." Really, you plan on slaughtering deer and packing them around with you?

Looks remarkable like a Mauser with a box magazine (which was done occasionally in WW2).

I agree, the appearance is probably the "wow" on this. Lots of other solid rifles in that caliber for 2/3 the price. Plus, if you want a longer barrel, there's gajillions out there in longer barrels.
