Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints Mauser 2000 anyone heard of one

I went and bought a mauser 2000 real cheap just wondering has anyone any info on them think it's gonna be my next project

if I recall correctly they were marketed by mauser in the early to mid 70's. they are push feed actions not true mauser actions. they were the lower priced version of the mauser 3000 which was more weatherbyesque in style. I put a barrel on one once for a client. I didn't care for the bottom metal and I never saw the stock. seemed to be a serviceable action but I don't believe you will find many options as far as triggers, scope bases, or synthetic stocks available for it.

I'll probably reblue it service trigger redo the stock love restoring old rifles for my personal satisfaction and us

Made by Heym for Mauser. Buddy had a left handed version in 243 that shot great.

I bet it is a good one. What cartridge is it chambered for.I like my 3000

Damn good rifles. Good shooters and although not a custom build more than sufficient in quality. Have a 2000 in .06 and a 3000 in .308.


I would buy another in a heartbeat it is just the fact I rarely see them for sale. You lucked out.

I just bought one but haven’t shot it yet, has a really nice trigger though. Waiting for the weather to warm a little, it’s a 30-06

Mine is chambered in 243 wanted something between the 270 and the 223 that has brass and ammo readily available and i stumbled on this old girl was in a kind a pawn place for 300 with a Zeiss conquest 3x12x50 on top of it i thought it was a bargain hope I'm right bore and action look in really good shape

Well, get it out to the range and let the rest of us know how she shoots. Good luck.

Will do just need it to dry up some here in ireland so I can get out and shoot her

They are a well made rifle. I have a couple of lefties and really like them. As mentioned they are a.push feed action. The action itself is very slick and they were fitted with adjustable single or the optional twin set triggers.

Despite the Mauser markings the rifle is made by Heym. When they were not so well known outside of Europe, Heym had a marketing deal with Mauser. The rifles are based on the equivalent Heym SR 20 and 30 models (=Mauser 2000 & 3000). In Mauser trim they were stocked for the American market with Weatherby style stocks and alloy bottom metal. Heym models had steel bottom metal, German open sights and Euro style stocks. The interesting thing is the barrels have a 98 Mauser thread which is handy if you need a replacement.

If it's in good condition you'll have a decent outfit.

Hi Jfe thanks so much for that info blueing needs a little tlc and the stock has a few knocks but nothing sandpaper and patience won't fix the rifle overall looks sound so a range day will tell the tale I'll keep you guys updated

My 06 (3000) is a tack driver. My go to big game rifle for about 50 yrs . The floor plate latch pin broke last month.I taped it up . Many rounds through it,made lots of meat.

Anybody know what scope base will fit on a Mauser 2000 ?

Conetrol makes rings and bases for them but they are expensive.
