I knew it was a Mauser, everything about it screamed Mauser from the bolt release to the receiver shape and bolt...but I guess I overthought things and was like, "was it a 96 type action? M98 action?

All of my previous Mauser experiences have been w/the Military large-ring action and I've never used a commercial Mauser before.

Let me know how it shoots. As soon as funds permit I am planning on purchasing the same rifle in 6.5x55. I've got a 6.5x55 CZ and want another rifle in the same caliber.


Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

They're pretty close..

"Mauser" as we know it is long gone..I think SigSauer may be importing them again, but not sure.

I have 2 BYF (Oberndorf) BNZ (Steyr)and a VZ24 from Brno and they're all definitely large ring Military Mauser model rifles.

The Zastava and Brno factories both built Mausers before and after the war.

A Zastava M70 is an Interarms Mark X. Same rifle - same factory 20 years down the track.

What's the main difference with a commercial 98 and a Mark X? The 98!base will fit in front, but not in back

mausers which were military have a hump there for the insertion of a stripper clip of ammo. commercial rifles do not.

Ok. Let me ask this. What kind of action is the Mark X or Zastava M70? The bolt is very similar to my K98. The receivers differ in that mine has more of the "H" shape w/o the cutout

Based on the '98 - but not a'98.

Very similar, with the major exception being the shape of the bolt handle. 98's wouldn't accept scopes without some gymnastics, commercial versions do.

The front bridge on a 98 is higher than the rear - in other words, they are not on the same plane.

The front, and rear bridge on 98-clones, are on the same plane (made that way for ease of mounting scope bases - which weren't really a consideration in 1898).

*Mauser, thee Mauser, also built commercial actions - that's for another thread*

Afraid not - still lower at the back than the front on commercial M98s such as Interarms Mark X and Zastava M70.

I was confused..I know what a military 98 is...but your statements earlier about commercial rifles not being "Mausers" is what threw me off.

Anyways..turned out today that front and back both take Model 98 bases..Will the rifle need shims for the rear base?

Do you consider a Brno a true Mauser?

The Zastava 70 is a Rem 798 is a Charles Daly 98 is an Interarms Mk X varying to some degree in fit & finish. The scope bases from Leupold or whoever will fit that string of "commercial Mausers", all made by the same manufacturer in the former Yugoslavia, as well as the FN commercial versions as marketed by Browning, Sears and FN itself in years gone by. Medium rings on Leupold std bases labeled for FN or Mark X commercial mauser will work with a 3-9x40 scope with clearance front and rear.
