AUSTRIAN MAUSER MODEL 98 30-06

A classic Austrian Mauser Model 98 sporter in .30-06, built in the traditional Continental style and configured as a serious, all-around sporting rifle. Purposeful, well-balanced, and mechanically honest, this is the kind of Mauser that was meant to be carried and used.

The rifle is fitted with a 22" Böhler steel barrel, executed in a half-octagon / half-round profile with a full-length rib, giving it both visual presence and excellent rigidity. Sights consist of a ramped front sight and an island rear with two folding leaves, providing a proper express-style setup. Optics are handled by a Bausch & Lomb 4x scope mounted in adjustable ring bases, a period-correct and practical pairing.

Stock details include an ebony fore-end tip, steel grip cap, cheekpiece, sling swivel studs, and a steel buttplate with trap door, the compartment sized to carry three spare rounds—a thoughtful and traditional touch. At 8 lbs 11 oz, the rifle has the steady, confidence-inspiring feel Mauser sporters are known for.

Condition is good overall, showing honest handling marks from storage and use. The bore is bright and shiny with sharp rifling, underscoring the rifle’s continued shootability.
