I was up at my Buddy's house a couple weeks ago. He pulled out a couple rifles which had belonged to his wife's Granddads. One was an Eddystone with a sporter stock and original GI sights. 30-06 of course.
But the other one: Okay, it's a Mauser 98 in 30-06, cool. Then I saw BRNO scribed in the action. My eyebrows lifted a bit. It had no strip feeder slot, so I suppose it must be post war. This is not my area of expertise.
It had a pretty nice walnut stock, and was fitted with a scope of some kind. Probably from the fifties or early sixties.
I can hardly wait to get my hands on it, check the bore, and see how she shoots. And grab a couple pics.
It is a family heirloom, so no way he will ever part with it. Its actual value is of no interest to him
