Some nice pics:

I have a couple of the sporters. Very nice rifles.
I had read that Military rifles existed at least in rare numbers or obscure issue/contracts.
But I was told that they never were made up that way .

7mm Mauser smells like south america but it seems this ended as a german service rifle in 1914

Two pics of a Haenel M1909 military carbine in 8x57I, shown on gunboards forum some years ago:
My own Haenel sporters. Top: upgrade M1900 in 8x57I. Bottom: economy grade M1909 in 9x57
The M1900 with it's long eye relief 3x Voigtlaender "Skopar D" mounted:
A year ago I wrote an article about the Haenel M1900 and M1909 sporters in the German VISIER magazine.

That 1900 is a great looking rifle. Hunting rifle development could have stopped there...
