Military Mauser "sniper" rifle ####

[BeaverMeat]

Original or Reproduction. Large ring, small ring, or intermediate ring Military Mausers in marksman configuration. German, Czech, Swedish... etc. Heck, even Springfields or P14/M17s are acceptable.

Let's see them!


Here is what I brought.

Yugoslavian refurbished K98 wearing Zrak mounts and an ON-M76 marksman scope. Replica of the infamous "tandzara" field expedient sniper rifles from the Bosnian civil war. I have always found these rifles interesting... and it's the closest thing to a Zastava M76 that I will ever get my hands on.

By far my favorite rifle to shoot. The action is incredibly slick (unmodified) and it shoots under 1' groups with factory ammo when I take my time (the trigger is also unmodified). I will post proof some day.

Cool sniper BM!

Unfortunately I have nothing to add to this thread. My dream sniper is a matching original byf in ZF-41 trim. Probably never gonna happen.

My holy grail Mauser sniper is an original J.P. Sauer & Son (ce) LSR. And again, never going to happen.


A desporterized repo will have to do.

Currently in the process of building a German/Israeli K98 into a sniper clone with a CP Goerz pre WWII variable scope. Hope to have it done within the next few months.

My goal is to build a ZF-41 clone some day but even that's pretty far off.

Thanks. Although I need to get some better pictures of it.

This set up works incredibly well once you get used to the chin weald from the high mount. Which is necessary for proper function of the BDC turrets.

I got a Israeli K98 1943 DOU with a ZF39 Side Scope. I really need to find a Camera

Here's an MKL entry of an original piece, complete with a detailed 239 pic photo montage and lots of close ups of mounts etc...

1942 Code AR K98k-ZF41 (Karabiner 98) Rifle - Serial #1636khttp://www.milsurps.com/content.php...8)-Rifle-(Mfg-by-Mauser-Werke-AG-Borsigwalde)
(Mfg by Mauser Werke AG, Borsigwalde)

I guess technically it should be classified as a sharpshooter's rifle, not a sniper...

I have a similar set up with a Yugo M48BO on Zrak Mounts with an ON-M76 scope. Im not sure how well she shoots, but i think I just need more range time with her .

 

[BadgerDog]

Although I no longer own it, I had one M48A converted to a period sniper configuration and it shot really well out to 300 meters.

Some nice submissions...

But the thread died. I guess I should have called the thread Mauser "hunting" rifle ####.

 

[vermintrex]

ok...well, you did say Springfields allowed...and repro's.....here's my JRA 1903A4 reproduction.

Yup...she's pretty much brand new, I know it...so the purists can save the sneers....and move on At least it's a cool looking brand new rifle

 

[Riflechair]

I couldn't resist

 

[bearhunter]

Vermin, I don't mind reproductions at all. At least you aren't shooting a bunch of value away every time you pull the trigger at the range with it. I saw one of those a few weeks ago and it looked great. The owner hadn't shot it yet. It may have been a Christmas present from his son.

Have you wrung the wrinkles out of yours yet???

Riflechair, nice No4T, is that a repro scope/mount?

 

[BeaverMeat]

I couldn't resist

Blasphemy!!!

One day I will add those to the collection. I am just stuck in my 8mm phase right now.

But if you want to talk about which was the most capable sniper platform... K98, L-E, 1903, or M-N. I am all ears.

I haven't shot this one yet. She'll be out early this spring.

I'm pretty new to firearms in general, never mind milsurps. Last year I spent most of my time with my No.1 Mk3, M1 and SKS just getting used to iron sights and shooting rifles in general. I've never shot with a scope before so I have some more reading to do so I can get it properly sighted in and at least have a general idea of what I'm doing lol

Regardless...I know I will be having fun !
