Hi all!

A Mauser in .30-06 has come up for sale and I am considering it.

Based on the photographs could some of you identify the type, give me a rough idea of its date of manufacture and it's current market value.

I do not want to drill and tap the receiver for a scope mount but may have to use a scope. Considering which, is there any other way of fitting a mount on this rifle? If not, what would be a good mount for this rifle?

Incidentally, could someone tell me where I could buy an original or after-market fore-sight hood for this rifle?

Thanks.

Rustam
