Dang Squirrely, thelasttime I hunted with a 98 was in 1970.In 1969 J.M.Fields sold themfor $10 ea..I had 8 of them plus Carcanos andMosins. Like a fool I sold them all for $20 & $25 ea.. I wish I had all those Mauser 98actions today!

Oh well, back to your question, make sure you have someoneBore Scope that barrel. If the barrel is in bad shape and the prize is very low, by it for the action. A Mauser 98action that's in good shape will sell today for $400-$500. Like someone has mentioned already, if the barrel is in good shape and you decide to buy it,make surethe parts #'s all match.If every thingchecks out and you decide to buy it, you can restock it and you will have a rifle for a long time!!

Have you seen the new Remingtons with the Mauser Actions?
