I have k98 Mauser that I purchased for a good price already sporterized. This is a real nice looking rifle with a scope. I get 3 shot groups right at 1" at 100 yds with 180 and 200 grain pellets. It is a fine hunting rifle and fun to shoot. It's recoil is a bit less than my 30-06. Ballistics in the same weight bullet are just under a 30-06.
