For sale: Mauser 98 guild gun. .30-06, butter knife bolt handle, double set triggers, Lyman receiver sight in tandem with Griffin&Howe quick release side mount holding refurbished Weaver K2.5 scope. 24" barrel. Slender stock with kidney cheek piece and schnabel tip, horn butt plate and grip cap. Push button floor plate release.

Weight: 6lbs 13oz without scope attached, 7lbs 10oz with scope. Lightweight and wonderfully balanced thanks to the long barrel. A joy to carry in the woods all day.

When I bought it nearly 30 years ago it retained its original 8x57 barrel which looked like a sewer pipe. I re-barreled it with a new-in-the-white Parker-Hale .30 barrel and chambered it for .30-06. Shoots wonderfully, and feeds .30-06 cartridges slickly. Has had a couple hundred jacketed bullets through it and many hundreds of cast lead bullets through it which means the bore is pristine. Whole thing professionally re-blued at time of barrel job.

Double-set triggers function perfectly, both set and un-set.

Scope is a post-war Weaver early K2.5 - I sent it out to the Weaver scope repair people whereupon they disassembled it, cleaned it, and replaced the cloudy objective lens with the last original unused/new correct lens they had in their possession, it's crystal clear with images so sharp they'll cut your eyeball. Comes with the leather shoulder "holster" (for lack of a better term) to carry the scope when off the rifle, which I purchased in a cool little German gunshop in Frankfort, Germany.




Price: $1150 (figure the G&H system+scope equals $4-500 of that, and can't be removed from the gun as it would leave three screw holes and two tapered pin holes exposed), plus actual shipping.
