There's nothing like a well sporterized Mauser. Here is one that I have:

Man...you guys get all the good deals...

Nice, beautiful looking weapon.

I don't usually care for sporters, but Mannlicher stocks are a weakness of mine.

I like them too. Just seems to add a little aesthetics to the rifle.

Was that one originally a milsurp that was re-barreled, or is it a true Mauser sporting rifle? I like the set trigger!

It was a G33/40. They were mountain guns that had lightning cuts. They were very popular guns to turn into light sporting rifles. This one was made by my Grandfather. He was a tool and die maker that could produce beautiful rifles. He even carved and checkered the stock.

Oh wow... that's awesome!

Love that Mannlicher style stock.

Oh baloney... I was talking about this rifle and said that if I could mount a scope without screwing up the crest I wouldn't mind!

S&K among others makes a scout scope mount for your rifle. No drilling/tapping - uses the mount points for the rear sight and a long eye relief scope.

S & K Scope Mounts Home Page - rifle scope, scope mounts, Insta-Mount, SKulptured Mounts


Being stocked all the way to the muzzle, your rifle may have started life as a modelo 1909 cavalry carbine. Barrel length would be about 21.75 inches if so

Yep, I'm familiar with the S&K mounts. I've got them on a Yugo M48A and a Mosin M38. They work great, but it would be nice to have a longer range scope. But for now I'm just gonna use the irons.

This is longer than the cavalry carbine. This isn't a milsurp stock though.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I just tried the trigger for the first time a few minutes ago. The Gunbroker ad said it was 2.75 lbs. and maybe it's my old milsurp trigger-conditioned finger, but it feels every bit that light or lighter. Feels like a hair trigger to me!

I want to learn more about riffles. Can you recommend a way to do it in a financially smart way? There are some riffles I can rent at the gun range I go to, but they are limited I want to learn about many. I don't have this issue with handguns.

I can really only speak about military surplus rifles for the most part. Mosins are still reasonable as an entry into milsurp stuff. Turkish Mausers aren't much more. Enfields are a little more, but I still see them in the $275 - 300 range. But my best answer is, go through this subforum (Long Guns) and just read. I'm not sure what type you're interested in but there's plenty of good info right here on .

 

[kmoffett71]

I don't have a type DoggyDaddy. The only riffle I have shot was when I was 16, many many years ago, and it was just a .22 semi auto...nothing really. I would just like to check some out and shoot some to see what I am interested in, and what I like. I'd like to take my son too and let him see what he likes. I guess I need to find a trainer really

Well, reading here will help with that too. You can see what other people are interested in and why, and maybe find something to at least steer you into a certain direction to start.

Very nice, well like DD said the Swedish and Argentine Mausers are some of the nicest produced Mausers.. Their actions are clean the attention to detail is over the top.. Does yours have the Stock Disk???

Yep. Out of all the old military rifles I once had, the Swede is the only one I have left. It's been a long time since I last shot it. When I was younger it really shocked me at just how well I shot it. Somehow all the metal still looks almost new. I guess that is why I never got rid of it.
