An M98 in 7x57. I never heard of it. Too bad that jewel got bubba'ed. I guess that depends on if your interest is original Mausers or Brit/Mausers. I was made what I thought was a pretty substantial offer from a fellow that called himself "a collector of English Mausers". I declined his offer at that time. How do you put a value on such when there just aren't any to compare to ? It's a lovely rifle to stroll in the timber with , I can attest to that. Mike

Gentlemen, Time to poll the membership. I would like to see a new forum added to the Fire. One dedicated solely to the great 98. We might actually need two. One for militaries and one for commercial / customs. Other ideas, or suggestions to refine? John Boy.... https://i.imgur.com/Tz7Sk97.jpgGood luck with that, I tried to create a Cabin/Offgrid living type thread and was told if I generated enough interest that he would hook us up. I did and he didn't.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Like Sam Houston, I will vote for what is best for ME in 2020.
Texans read their Bibles to find what they want it to say, and are blind to what it actually says...

Waiting to hear from Rick on a yea, or nay on the Mauser forum.

An M98 in 7x57. I never heard of it. Too bad that jewel got bubba'ed. Lots of military 98s built in 7x57 for foreign markets. I had a Venezuelan Tanker so chambered, but I cut it up and and rebarreled it to 30-06AI.

I went looking for my post in the Hunters Campfire.....
It finally dawned over me that it was in the new forum.
Many thanks to Rick Bin for providing this for us.

Do note that if there isn't much traffic on it, it might get combined with another forum.

All things mauser seems like a cool place to hang out as the good ole USA got her butt sewed off by paul mauser for copying the ole 98 with our 1903 springfield and the winchester 54 was nuttin but a 98 mauser winchester 70 and ruger 77 shows mauser 98 in the bloodline and the list just goes on and on so were 121 years up the road from the start and i still dont believe there has been a stronger bolt action built since its inception,and the 7x57 & 8x57and 6.5x55 such cool cartridges these mausers came chambered in so lets get on with the mauser forum as Im in.
broken bones broken heart stripped down an torn apart a lil rust but Im still runnin countin miles countin tears twisted roads and shiftin gears year after year its all or nothin Im not home and Im not lost just holdin on 2 what I got...God and Guns

i thought i was having a senior moment whilst scrolling the Forum list.
as i scrolled to the Savage collectors forum i caught sight of Mauser and military rifles! been here a long time and thought i must have been missing this all that time. Hot Damn! a Mauser forum!
i have had many Mausers ,96's,98's, siamese. if ever a design was a bench mark it is the Mauser.
