The top section that incorporates the scope rings attaches and detaches by a dovetail cut along the length of the mounts under side. The base is attached to the left of the action via either three screws or later models had three additional locking screws and some had two/three locating pins. Here two models proliferate, the earlier short side/rail mount that is recognised by its single large clamping lever sited at the front of the mount. I like the single claw mounts as these have both front and back bases mounted to the left of the receiver and utilised a single claw attachment, being retained by a tensioned plunger that allows the scope to be tipped up and forward to be removed when the plunger is depressed.Īs with all the mounting systems the windage is adjusted by the rear scope mount via a screw and pinion system, as scopes of that era only had elevation adjustment. The double claw attaches with a bridge type front mounting with the recessed mount dovetailed into the front receiver ring, whilst the rear mount also has twin slots that the top mount attaches to and is then latched in place. Claw or side mounted derivatives hark back to the K98 Mausers sporting heritage.īoth single and double claw variants are out there but I have to say these are probably the least likely mounting systems you will encounter. There are a few main versions of scope mounts and this can be a matter of personal preference, although some designs were certainly better than others. Top this with some of the best optics of the time from Zeiss, Hensoldt, Kahles and Ajack and you have yourself a formidable shooting combination. There is also something very iconic about the WW2 German sniper rifle, primarily I guess it’s the Mauser actioned rifle that’s spawned so many other military and sporting variants to this day. I have always had a soft spot for old sniper rifles mainly because I like old optics and there is something intrinsically interesting in shooting vintage equipment - whatever the make. So with that in mind, absolute authenticity will be taking second place to function and availability this one is for shooting! I wanted a good working example as I fancied taking it out after deer to see how it would perform. To me it was of no concern as to the rifle not being a true sniper, just as long as the rifle and scope were period I could live with the modern additions. Most of the rifles you see advertised are “made up” snipers, often period K98 and scopes are used but after market mounts are usually fitted. There are numerous variants of rifle, scope mounts and scopes available but it would be foolish to expect a “true” sniper rifle to turn up because they are extremely rare and could cost £10,000 plus. "Contact Info I won't post because ya.For many years I’ve hankered after a K98 sniper rifle, so I decided to search for a suitable candidate. Please call me before these are gone forever.

We also have a small selection of P-08 Luger and P-38 Walther Presentation grade pistols for purchase. Our K98k German Mauser rifles start at $2,000.00. I believe you know how difficult it is to find a German Mauser in this condition these days. The last time I offered German Mauser rifles was quite a while ago. We have only a few rifles for those collectors who have been looking for a rare piece of history for their collection and have not been able to locate them yet. We have combed the countryside worldwide and it looks like these could be some of the Last German Mauser rifles we will ever have in our inventory. We have made them available for purchase. We have just found A FEW LAST German Mauser rifles and Pistols. Also the image in said email looks oddly like a M48 they've monkeyed with. As if anyone would ever pay 2 grand for a K98 lol.
