kuduae, I can follow your arguments but my own 10,75x57 geco and the two rifles postet here are definately not small rings.
I can only assume now that someone( maybe Kaba)had have a special taste for such trigger guards. they are not common on M 98 sporter's and also not nessesary in the example's I have seen.
You are right, as adding a shotgun-style triggerguard to a Mauser 98 action was a "Custom Touch" very often added by German gunmakers from the 1920s to the 1970s, sometimes used even today. So also is a "butterknife" bolthandle. Perhaps influence of the Mannlicher-Schoenauer design? Or, did they all, Austrians and Germans, follow the same fashion?
