For some reason, every time I start to buy a K98 I end up not doing it. I'm not sure why I have a number of other Mausers, although the only ones I have shot for well over a year are 1916's in 7x57.

That is a nice looking rifle, but I could probably buy the Trijicon ACOG

sight for my CAR15 for what they get for one of those.

Sure, a nice rifle, but with NO history behind.

I don't know why, but the only K98 I would like to have, is one from Norway in 30-06

I've got two that were war issue but later owned by Communist block countries where they removed all the important proof marks. But..... I didn't pay much for either one. Accordingly they are probably only worth what I paid.

For some reason I have never gotten too excited about K98k's. Maybe the feeling will come over me at some later date. LOL. But the pictures show a really pristine looking "anniversery edition" rifle. Guess you will have to go with your gut feeling....or whatever your wife thinks about it.

Cheers fellas, Joe

Decided not to buy it, bought another SMLE instead

Decisions, decisions
