I came into a little money and I've always wanted a old Mauser hunting rifle. Where would I find a classy old Mauser custom?

Might find something on Gunbroker Or hit the Pawn shops,thats where I found mine ! Mauser 98 8mmJS double set triggers folding rear sights and Weaver 2.5x scope,sold the scope and put a Leupold 4x long tube on it. It will do about .75 inch for 3 shots with Partizan 196 grain softs and an inch with my reloads of 47 Grains H-4895 and 150 grain Sierras !

Check out BRNO model 21s and 22s, some of the coolest old mausers going.

I've got 2 jc Higgins. I'm looking for a custom military conversion. The Brno's are a possibility, as well as a old mannlicher.

Also the original Obendorf Mauser sporters are awful cool. There's a couple on gunbroker that have been there for a while, not cheap though. Sometimes you see well crafted european conversions sell reasonably with double set triggers and even nice engraving.

Look for a "guild" or "cigarette" rifle be aware of the chambering. Also scope mounts, claw mounts especially. If the scope mounts are not there or are for a special size/type scope it could be a REAL problem. Be patient they are out there and can be found for a decent price. Most will be military conversions, with the charger clip cut outs. Others could be "FN" style, these will be later models.

Why does a man who is 50 pounds overweight complain about a 10 pound rifle being too heavy? SCI Life Member 4**

I didn't come in to that kind of money. A Mannlicher or BRNO 21 is about my limit

That is pretty. How much of a sin would it be to drill/tap?
