I was in a gun shop today and he has a Mauser 98 in .243 on the rack. I looked it over and cannot find many markings on it except for "98" on the receiver and ".243" on the barrel. I cannot find any import marks or importer branding.
The bolt is chromed and does not have any S/N stamped on it. The stock reminds me of a Remington 700 BDL stock, down to the black fore-end tip and cheek rest.
The trigger is very crisp and breaks at about 3 lbs. There is an instruction sheet with it, and at the bottom the address is Southgate, CA.
The gun is wearing a Nikon Prostaff 3 x 9 scope.
It fits me nicely, but I don't have to have it.
Anything special about this gun from what I have described, or is it "just another gun?" If so, I'd rather keep looking for something more readily available like a Savage, Remington, etc.
And based on what I've told you, what would be a fair price for it, if I decide to buy it?
Thanks
