Nice collection! Got any pics? I'd love to see a shot of the Carl Gustav.

 

That K98 is amazingly accurate. Got it. Cleaned it. Shot it. 5 " group with iron sights and my bad eyes at 100 yards. Put that 3x15 50mm scope on it and it was 4" group at 200 yards with no rest. amazing piece of engineering and manufacturing for a 77 year old rifle.

I love the Mauser too! Here is one of my favorite ones. It has set triggers [2 triggers,] a floating stock, 30 degree safety, push button bottom plate release and some scroll work. It has a new .308 barrel, diamond cut bolt that is bent so it doesn't hit the scope and a bunch of other alterations. It's a sweet shooting rifle. I'm thinking this one came out in the late 40's or early 50's. Opps, going to have to try that picture again.

1898 Mauser 308 cal. (new barrel). 27 alterations, fully custom. Has two triggers (set triggers). Trigger pull adjustable from 2 oz to 5 lbs. A great sniper rifle rare.

That's a nice rifle you have there. I know it's a lot of fun to shoot. I was having a problem getting the url to paste and I  had to go. I need to take some better pictures of it. You can't hardly see the second trigger. The rear trigger must be 8 lb. pull and the front trigger when set is about 6 oz. pull. You can adjust to what ever you want. I had it re-blued even though it really didn't need it bad. it has the mannlincher stock and a cheek piece on the other side of the stock. The lugs on the action were machined down to accomodate a scope. One thing I like about the .308 is that you down load it to shoot like a 30-30 or upload it to shoot like a 30-06. If you download it to shoot below 2000 fps you could shoot a goose and they won't explode. Just FYI. It's true!

I took a few pics today of the Mauser today. Out of all the guns I have this one has a lot of sentimental value to me.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I'm guessing you're Finnish?

  in -50 to -70 many guys earned they living hunting seals.

Rifle needed to be superb accurate and shooters gotta know where to hit.

Distances were about 150 meters to 250 meters, Seals are very clever. They see if you are close so hunter need to be still on ice maybe many hour and killing spot is just less than 5cm area behind seals ear.  

Caliber was usually 7.62x53R  and cone was matched to Lapua D46 12g bullet.

I really don`t know is my writing make any sense, but ask if i need to clarify something.
