If you take some time and look through the gallery pics, I am sure you can find what model rifle it isn't.

Here's a site that lists the current Voere rifles. The 2155 looks like a refurbished military 98(thumb notch, wing safety)

Yes, the Voere I was talking about earlier(poor accuracy) was made in Kufstein Austria and was a '98 Mauser Action(Commercial), if I remember correctly, it looked like a Santa Barbara. Nothing at all like the nice looking ones you see now or the Kleingunther ones. I only brought it up because at one point they weren't very good, kinda like cars, remember when Audi and Subaru first came over, they were junk, but look at them now!
Greetings and Salutations friends...
I'm quite pleased this thread is active.
I am seeking some clarification to the model mauser 98 Voere I have here.
It is a 98 Voere but I have no idea what model she is.
Can any one here bring clarity to the situation?
Any comments on your personal experience with these rifles
are much appreciated.
If anything else the fish scales are, well, different.
I kind of like it to be honest. Probably not everyone's cup of tea.
Best Regards

I see some differnces yes. What makes this subject so exhausting is that this company name has been associated with German and Austrian manufacturers,
As well like Winchester's recent history in North America, this company name has changed ownership several times.
For example: the present Voere company is out of Austria and owned by Waffenfabrik. It used to be owned by Mauser, who bought it from another concern????
Our American Friends often refer to the commercial mauser actioned rifles as "Cugir" models, but in the 1980's the Kliengunther K-15s came out, and a 22 LR variant and briefly a 22 magnum bolt action was made as well.

Hi:
Found your comments on the
voere Titon II most interesting and agree with your observation about quality and accuracy. I own the 7 MM Reg Mag. It is the most accurate rifle I ahve ever owned. I used to have a Redfield 3X9 scope with Buhler mouonts on it. However, the scope did not match the rifle so I bought the same scope you have the Leupold 3.5 X 14-50 MM . However, have not able to use same as the Buhler mounts no longer work,. I even found a dealer in northern Bc who had a set of the Buhler high rings, but were not high enough. What mounts and rings do you have?
I would be most appreciative of any help you can give me.

Weaver bases #47 & #55 (available in steel or aluminium) will fit your rifle. Rings from Weaver, Leupold, Burris etc. will fit these bases. Good luck, you have a quality rifle there.
doubtful although the weapon is only as good as the rifleman
Interesting discussion. I have a 7mm RM Austrian Voere, model 2150 which I purchased new in about 1970. It served as my "only" big game rifle for a few years, and despite the many other choices I now have, it is my "go to" rifle. While I don't know exactly what it weighs, it appears to have a fairly thin walled barrel and is quite light. The older I got, the more brutal the recoil seemed to be, so several years ago I had it fitted with a muzzle break. At the same time, it recieved a stock refinish, a full teflon coating of the metalwork, and a new (at the time) 3200 Elite. The tamed recoil and decreased muzzle jump, along with the new glass did much to improve my ability to shoot it accurately. It's functional, accurate, good looking (in my opinion at least), and remains a favorite.
I owned a voere for a total of 2 days. The rifle was light but seemed very cheap to me. The bolt was terrible. The trigger sucked just as bad. I believe it was the 2155 model in 300 WM. You could not use medium rings on this rifle as the bolt handle would hit the scope. I never shot the gun because i was so dissapointed in it i immediately made arrangements for the gun to go back to its previous owner. I did alot of research on the rifle before it was purchased with all comments being positive. I would NEVER even consider another voere with its wacky bolt handle configuration and IMO poor quality. Keep in mind this is my only experience with this particular model. I cant comment on other models as they may be better or worse. Good luck.
