Steve That's putting it mildly. MOST folks have never heard of an Emil Kerner, let alone seen one. I used to know a high end gunsmith who worked for the most part on SXS double rifles and drillings. This is the ONLY bolt gun he would consider working on. I had a black diamond Winchester trap gun that needed a little work. He just laughed, took the gun and TWO YEARS later called and said it was done. All it needed was a safety button. Nice going Don.

I call that a cool one. After shooting my 250 for years, that would probably rattle my eyeballs loose, Joe.

That's a neat barrel shape, with no hard shoulder when it changes from octagon to round.
Neat rifle!
Having tried to find mauser claw mounts at one time, it is a treasure to find it in complete original condition...think the recoil pad was an afterthought?

Very nice, Don. You gotta love a side-paneled Mauser with a barrel key. DST's are icing on the cake. Once you work with a Mauser with DST's, you don't want to go back to single triggers. Why they never really caught on in America I'll never know.
What make is the scope? Hensoldt? I bet recoil in that trim rifle chambered in 9.3x62 is an attention getter!

That's kinda cool. Does the tab on the forearm go into a dovetail in the barrel to hold the forearm on? Not that I'm suggesting you take it down.. just figured somebody would know.

That slotted key goes through a staple-looking protuberance affixed to the bottom of the barrel. Not really necessary with the Mauser system and its action screws. Kind of a "belts and suspenders" arrangement.
I'm surprised nobody commented about those early version of see-through mounts. Without altering the angle of the bolt handle to clear a low mounted scope, they had to use really high rings. I guess they figured since they were doing that they might as well put some peek-a-boo holes in them. Or maybe it was simply a tiny weight saving feature.
It would appear too that the trigger guard on Don's rifle started out as a military one with the sling hole in the leading edge that the gunsmith filed away to make it more svelte. I've done two like that and in the end the front of the trigger guard gets pretty thin. Compare that to the Krieghof below it which sports the commercial Mauser trigger guard.

I once bought a similar Mauser that was missing the claw mounts. I found a scope and rings in another junk pile and proceeded to hand file a set of mounts for them to fit into. Took a lot of time and a lot of cussing. I swore I would never do it again.

No shame in owning a classic caliber like the 9.3x62, Don. Good horse trading.
Amazingly Otto Bock designed that round in Europe two years before Springfield released the "06" on this side of the waters, well before Col. Whelen began his wildcatting ways.
My 9.2x62 Mannlicher stocked CZ turned my head a year back and seriously distracted me.

Your a lucky man Don. Sure would like to see it when you get it cleaned up.

Stan,Its probably as clean as i am going to make it ! next time you come over this way you can check it out Gary , the scope is a Voigtlander & Sohn Braunschweig on the other side it says Skopar E No.19887, on the back ring where it turns it has a 0 with a +3 on one side and a -3 on the other side. On the front turret there is 100-200 and the little boss with the screw above it has a 3 near it. I believe the 3 is the power. The recoil pad looks to have been installed years ago, and there are no names or numbers on it,so i have no clue if original or not.

Don't matter how clean she is or when the pad was added or the numbers. She's got good bones and is beautiful.
