I found one myself about a year ago. Custom stock with polished fixed floorplate, receiver sight and front bead chambered in 30-06. It is an Oberndorf action from 1901 that was modified by Germany in 1921 to the newer standard, and some mad lad installed a Springfield 1903 barrel on it. I was the only one who bid and got it at a price of 450 with paid shipping. The old mauser actions make for truly fine rifles.
I own a 1940 made K98 rebarreled to 7.62 x 51. It is ex IDF. Shoots 308 Winchester just fine up to 180 grain ammo. Had it for 30 years now. It is an excilent rifle.
I had one of those same conversions at one time and it shot alright. At some point I got one of the barrels unused in the white that were made for the same. Why? I dunno. I was not building any rifles.
@@TomSherwood-z5l I used Pac Nor Barreling for the rifles and AR rifles I build and sell. So, I know you can get a Mauser 98 barreled with a Pac Nor Stainless in the supper match with fluting and muzzle break then chambered for $500 with shipping. Messing with some unknown barrel is just asking for problems and same for these budget brand barrels. I also will used Douglass barrels, and they will barrel a Mauser for $700 . I was sold a defective Weatherby mark 5 with the chamber reamed sideways and as always of Weatherby they do everything not to take responsibility for their defective guns which now even on TH-cam are videos of Weatherby owners complaining of defective shotguns and rifles by Weatherby and near the same story as I got was it was my fault the gun shoots badly. So, I shipped the Weatherby to Pac Nor for a new Stainless supper match 27 inch barrel with fluting and Muzzle break at a cost with shipping was $500 to go back to 300 Wby mag chamber.
I love finding pawn n gun shop jewels like that!!! 3 days ago I found a .243win on a used rack with a 4x12x40 scope, high end walnut stock with rosewood forend cap . Price was 599 because they couldn't find the brand name on it? But I did and it was a sako Deluxe Forrester!!! Needless to say I'm tickled pink!!!
Early last year I picked up a sporterized Kar98k in 7x57 with a 6x Leopold scope at a gun show for 450. The action bedded and barrel is free floating. I have shot 1.6" group at 100 yards with factory ammo.
@@Lure-Bensongive us a 7mm Mauser chambering, any day! Practically everything about the cartridge is adequate, and a proven design, from the get go. When you have a proper twist, it'll handle everything you'll encounter. And fitted to a 98 action, the round really shines!
@@garywemmer9342 By what you wrote I am sure you are an east coast white tail deer hunter that has no idea of what the US looks like past the eastern state you live in or do you know anything about hunting dangerous animals in Alaska. I am since 1978 a professional hunting guide and by 1989 moved to Alaska to expand my guided hunts. No way in hell I would be so ignorant to attempt to use a rifle in 7mmx57 on coastal brown bear hunts when it can't stop a raging brown bears charge on the spot. I do know of a few Browns shot and killed by using a 7x57 but the shooter was backed up by a person with a 338 magnum and the other hunter was backed up by a person with a 458 Lott and in both bear kills the people with the large magnums had to get involved in shooting the bears. The 7mmx57 is a great cartridge but all cartridges can have limitations for what used for
@@Lure-Benson Karamojo Bell killed 800 African elephants with 7x57, plus countless smaller game animals, like Cape Buffalo. With the proper bullet and load it will take anything on the planet, and has been since 1892.
@@MaxWray111 I just knew it you would come up with some BS about Bell and I nearly wrote something for it. When you do write like that is show you are nothing but a teenager TH-cam groupie parrot mouth talker that doesn't even own a gun because you can't being a teenager.

That's a good deal noawadays. The crowd for some reaspon have jack the prices up on all rifles and specially mausers which used to be a dime a dozen for under 100dollars back in the day.
Is it something like a legacy Harrington & Richardson from the 1960's? Mike at USOG did a short review on a similar rifle. The Harrington & Richardson Ultra was made in Belgium by FN for H&R. Very primo sleeper rifles. Imo nicer than the Voere mausers from the same era. The Old Voere mauser hunting rifles of the seventies are quite nice which tells yo something.
You got your money bAck in after market parts, safety, trigger,stock,scope mounts etc. it may be 1906 Peruvian, action judging from the length of the barrel ring. Get rid of the cartridge loops & tape and you have a good shooter..Don’t work on it you have not the knowledge! Just saying

That rifle dose really well for you and if you wanted more power, you could have that barrel rechambered to the 280 Rem or 280 AI.

That's how you unload a Kimber. Shuckinouinout
That stock is from quarter sawn walnut. Probably a Bishop or Fajen blank from back in the day. You got a really nice buy.
@@chriswerkes8313 thanks. It has a heavy feel to it.

No, it has the thumbcut it is a military mauser.
Standard work for the 60s and 70s. Very hard to identify wwith the modifications. Maybe something under the front scope ring in the way of markings.😊
Bubba did a number on that one.
Can you swing the safety with the scope in place?
@@ericsissenwein3601 yes
This is what caliber?8mm Mauser?
@@jl8543 30.06
The caption says 30-06.
You want to get rid of it,just let me know
I'm pretty sure that's a JC Higgins mauser.
Just judging by the stock
