 Can any of the Mauser experts tell me if this looks like an original sporter? Many thanks LesLeeSpeed

Doubtful, zoomed in on it but can't see any markings at all plus the rear square bridge doesn't look correct. The stock has some Original Mauser characteristics but not correct either IMO. Regards, Metal

The stock , checkering pattern, rear sight, barrel contour and front swivel mount are not original Mauser (Oberndorf). Please show right side, grip cap, front sight, cocking piece and bolt handle and any markings to determine if action is Mauser manufacture.

I don't think so. Has some charm though. Would have to be a 22 before I would shoot it with the scope that far back. Is it 8x57 by any chance?

It is. I am waiting to hear back from the seller regarding any markings or more photos.

Sporsterized m98 Mausers like this example is are very common and you could see these for sale quite often in eGun.

This is what a commercial Oberndorf Mauser sporter looks like:
