The Karabiner 98 kurz ("carbine 98 short", often abbreviated Kar98k or K98k) is a bolt-action rifle chambered for the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge that was adopted in 1935 as the standard service rifle by the German Wehrmacht. It was one of the final developments in the long line of Mauser military rifles, a descendant of the Gewehr 98 rifle –standard issue of the German Army heading into World War 1. It had an excellent a reputation for being precise, accurate and durable. The rifle featured a controlled feed bolt action and a turned down bolt handle for faster operation. Early models were fitted with a walnut stock, but from 1937 onwards laminate was used for greater strength and warping resistance. Bluing was the standard finish until 1944 where phosphating was introduced as a more effective metal treatment.

Yea expensive Considering a bunch of parts are just refurbished.. but your getting a modern fitted match grade k98 in a calibre of your choice in factory new condition. How often do you see that?
 
Kind of interesting with the 8x33mm. Sub MOA at 100m with "match" 8x33? Starting to get into the theoretical there.

They look like great rifles. Small market, obviously, at that price range - but there be some takers I'm sure.

Not often, but $2300 is hard to come by in a Liberal economy. I'd love to support a Canadian importer/distributor/retailer but the increased carbon taxes and such have to be paid first... :ang

Holy Schitt, $2300, price gouging no
no thanks.

It's match-grade, hand-fitted, with one of the best barrel manufacturers in the world making the barrel. I'm not surprised at all by that price. A regular K98 would likely cost over a grand to make nowadays anyway.

However, 8mm Kurz? Really? Why? That seems so weird. And why is 8mm Kurz the cheapest option?
 
Another (bunch of) case(s) of "I can't afford it, so I'll whine and cry".

You lot should go commission some sub-MOA rifles, see what you can sell them for.

Ya, I thought so. If you can't afford an AMG / M series BMW, do you whine on car forums?
 
The newest Russian Capture K98's are selling at $1000, these seem like a deal all things considered.

The old days are over, no more low price deals anymore folks.

Serious firearms cost serious money.
 
I have no idea why people are whining about the price as if expecting them to cost 10% more than a beat up Russian capture rifle or something. Yes some of the parts are original and refurbished (metal furniture hardware?) but otherwise this is a completely hand made, match grade sub-MOA rifle in military configuration, which is pretty impressive considering that's not the optimum way to build a rifle for ultimate accuracy. And made in Germany in 2017 as a limited production run. Price seems quite fair in my opinion, not that I can afford it :(
