Picked up two sporterized Mausers (other is subject thread “Caliber Question”) from an auction. Placed low bid and got the pair. Travel has kept me from playing with them, but at home for a while and started to really give them a good look. This one was listed as an 8mm but the bore is .277. Haven't had a chance to do a chamber cast but that will be high on the list. It is a cock on closing action, so not a 98. Double set triggers, full rib on barrel, octagon to round barrel, folding leaf rear sight. Nice looking rifle and well made. As this is outside of my expertise, I toss this out to the Pro's to help me. Photos of all markings (very few) are included. Let me know if you need more or have any questions that might help with IDing this rifle.
