Is this a Mauser 98 'Model C' Hunting rifle.

I think that's the correct designation.
No markings on it that I can see. with the exception of a very (very!) faint 'c' on the LH lower edge of the recv'r ring. Just above the wood line.
It's placement seems to indicate that some other markings were there as well.

8x57mm,,stepped bbl.
Single Set Trigger
Claw mounts,but no scope of course.
A prior owner started to machine a set of 1" rings for the claw bases but never got as far as actually cutting the claw feet for them. Just a solid block below the rings.

Plain stock
Looks like an old Mauser butt plate. Horn matr'l I think.

Shoots great, very accurate even with that 1943 Turk surplus ammo.
Yes I clean it afterwards as it is corrosive stuff.

For $250 I wasn't about to let it pass me by. It
s a nice shooter even if not an orig Model from the factory.

Thanks for looking..
