I've finally got a lead on a nice (?) sporterized Mauser in .30-06. It's been a long time desire of mine to get one of these. The guy is a friend that belongs to the gun club. When I mentioned price, he said $225. Knowing him, I know that he owns only premium guns, so I bet it is a beauty! It might have a scope, but I didn't ask. I have no real use for it......maybe black bear hunting. No big deal for me, but, a definite plus, would be a 4x Weaver or other good scope.

I'd like to see the sporterized Mausers you guys have. I'm alittle in the dark here, so, give me some knowledge about them , also. I don't really NEED a shooter like this........but it's hard to resist!!! :twisted:

Kinda funny......I just won a Karma for a book about these. Haven't read it yet. Deja Vu.......I guess. :roll: Bob

If I was forced to have just one rifle. I would pick a 30-06 and some of those old sporterized mausers are as good as any.

Sounds like a good deal Bob. Be sure to post some pics when you get it. :mrgreen:

I was under the impression that a few of you guys had some Mauser's. Nobody coming up with any pix? Giz......help me out!!! Don't leave me all alone...... Bob

Thanks, Onenut!!! There are some pretty nice looking Mausers out there. The price, however, is out of the ballpark. Hopefully, I will make out better. A blind squirrel ....... :lol: Bob

Saxon Pig, How about a gander at your Mauser(s)? I think you posted them before.......but I can't remember where!!!! :roll: That's the fourth thing to go......when you hit 60!!!!! My teeth, eyesight, and love life leave something to be desired....... But..... I just keep truckin' along!!! Bob

Classic European sporting 98 in 8x57.

One I built using a new commercial action (30-'06).

Variation on a theme based on a Colombian 98 in 30-'06.

SP, All are nice, I'm just hoping that the one I'm going to look at today, is as nice. I don't want no half arsed, fugly rifle!!!! I really don't need this kind of rifle........but it's hard to resist, anyway. :roll: Bob

 

[Forester]

There are more than a couple guns inmy safe that I don't need, Bob. Don't let that get in the way. :mrgreen:

Buying a rifle like that is a very good excuse to go elk hunting.If you go elk hunting there fore you need a rifle like that.A good scope , load and proper sight in and it will make short work of UN troops out at 500 yards to.Many of those old mausers were used for just such things.

You make a very good point, but first......you gotta find ammo!!!! Bob
