Nice snag there. Every rifleman should have a Mauser of some sort. That one there is darn nice. Enjoy!

Very nice! With those white lines, black forend and leather sling it looks good enough to be in a firearms museum. A vintage scope would be cool if you could find one.
I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know.

Very nice! I believe that to be a model 3000, an early 1640 action with steel bottom metal. I really like the 1600 series or Improved Mauser action!
IIRC, one of the magazines, Guns or Guns Illustrated, ran a destruction test circa 1964 of different rifles. The barrels were packed with wet sand and a blue pill load was fired. The only action that survived was the 1600.

That is a beauty!!! Would look sweet with a steel tube K6 in old school weaver rings...

Pains me no end to say it, but that action just might be better looking than FNs.
Fine, handsome rifle. Good for you.

That's a beauty! A glossy VX3 3.5-10x 40mm would be my choice. In glossy Conetrol bases/rings; those things are "60s scope bling" in my mind !
