[SuperCub]

The magnum action versions are ~$10,000+

Oh my

I guess I'll have to stay in my own league and keep the clunky pumpguns

I thought Frankonia Jagd and Kettner were selling Zastava built mausers under their own "label". Is this not true?

Frankonia's Mauser 98's are manufactured by Brno.

What about the Luger L99 (available in left hand in 7x64 and 30-06) and the M98 and M98G that Kettner sells? They seem ok and are not too expensive.
They also list an M98 Safari in .404 Jefferey.

Kettner's are exact same think....... made by Zastava, sold under Kettner name for a while now.

Do you have a web site for those guns Kettner sells? My quick Google search didn't turn up anything but clothes catalogues.

Thanks,

I actually have the print version, I tried to look stuff up on the web site but is was weak.

.458 Win. Mag. 26" Brown Laminated 46 1/4" 7 89837 $839 Wait... it's up on the Remmy website now.

Base model MSRP is only $599US - that's less than a Montana Mauser receiver alone.

Looks like I found my birthday present! Only way they could make it better was to chamber it in .458 Lott! If they did that, well, I'd be in heaven!

I'm thinkin' that a fellow is better off with a couple of really nice guns like this, than a whole closet full of run-of-the-mill stuff, including pumpguns.

I agree. This thread induced me into looking at prices. I have found lots of beautiful Magnum Mauser rifles for sale. Some are original, and some are new production, like Granite Mountain Arms. Prices ranged from ~US$2500 for a bare action in the white to US$24,500 for this original .416 Rigby, circa 1928. It comes with a full history and has probably been fired less than 100 times!

I also found an exhibition grade Dumoulin Magnum Mauser in .505 Gibbs. Replacement value is pegged at US$50,000+, however it can be yours for a paltry US$29,500:

On the other hand, Montana Rifleman is offering a special "charter issue" price of US$525 for their Professional Hunter action, which will handle up to .505 Gibbs length cartridges. Cheap like borscht, isn't it!

Super Cub :

IMHO, your logic is flawless. Go for the quality, but, choose carefully.

Handled one of the new '98 Mausers about a month ago with the Mauser Factory Rep ( on his way to the SHOT Show, travelling with the Blaser Rep. )
The 03 Mausers are technical little marvels. the Blasers really cute, but that big square bridge Mauser '98 in .375 was one fine lookin' piece ! Supposedly faithfully built from the original 1936 Magnum Mauser drawings. Sweet ! As an option, though, I would hold out for the "horizontal" (Winchester style) safety rather than the Mauser "Wing" safety.

If they make it in LH, definitely it'll be worth the price of admission.

im waiting too for left hand "zastington" i owned an old zastava mod 70 lefty in 270 and i m waiting to them selling in lh too ...

then some custom works but a good base even if the stock is not so good ...

Frankonia's Mauser 98's are manufactured by Brno.

no it came from zastava factory then printed not ex yu for political reasons ...!!!

they were too not expensive but they change from sabatti "mauser " maker and the price increased no more zastava selling for kettonia ....

But you would think that someone at Remington would know what a square bridge looks like.

This is not a square bridge action, it's marketing hype. The dead givaway is that it takes conventional scope bases.

I'm glad I was not the only one to pick up on that.

Gotta love these actions http://www.rifleactions.com/index.htm

 

[K98]

I wonder when these guns are going to be available? Will the action be similar to the Yugoslavian M48?

Same action, no finger cutout, maybe a little diff trigger.
