Inherited this piece .308 cal Steiner with german mauser action, any ideas on what it would be worth? Thinking of selling but don't want to get hooped again like I did with another piece that a dealer got a hold of and I found out later that it was worth 3 times what he gave me................... Oh well , live and learn! :kickInTheNuts:

steiner

Does it say "Steiner" anywhere else on the metal? Looks like a 50's or 60's sporter 98 with an aftermarket Fajen maple stock on it. Based on your pics, condition of bluing shown, etc, I'd say you have a $300-$325 rifle, throw in the scope for a few more bucks, probably $350-$375 total depending upon caliber, bore condition and headspacing (high end pricing). With a new Stevens model 200selling for $339 with a warranty, yours is probably worth under $300 on the board. Just my two cents of course.
 
Nice piece of lumber,it does look like a sporterized mauser.The barrel doesn't say sportco does it?If there are no stampings as to manufacture on barrel it is probably under front scope base.And even though the stevens is a really good price it does not have the classic appeal of a mauser in wood.The right buyer may pay as much as 450 IMO.
 
I never heard of a Steiner made/sporterized rifle? As other members said, looks like a sporter mauser with an aftermarket stock. I don't think it's a big dollar rifle. If I were you I'd take it to the range a try it at 100 yards. If it shoots a nice tight group, then it's better to keep the gun yourself for hunting.

I agree. I would be nice to see some of the markings on the metal. Can you take some so we can help you out a bit better.?

What was Bubba using on that trigger guard screw? Trying to take it off with a Robertson? That's just brutal.
