I think those are going to look a little funny on your circa-1250 kit. :)

Someday soon I hope the gun gods to bless me with the chance to buy a used Winchester '73 .44 myself.

Gwehr 98's are getting hard to find.  I'm sure its a good investment.

They were all I'd use in the WW2-themed installments of Call of Duty!  I liked them better than any of the other rifles available.  lol

Well, I used the Gewehr for close to mid-range options, the Kar98 (scoped) for long range sniping, mostly just to switch between guns when one got boring.  I know right, how could a gun get boring?  lol
