WEIGHT: 8 lbs 4 oz. with scope. 7 lbs 3 oz. without scope OVERALL CONDITION: Very Good. Wood is sound and exhibits scattered light handling and use marks; rear sling eye repositioned at some point; stock is tight with no looseness. Rubber recoil pad is solid. Metal good with some pitting visible along wood line; more moderate pitting underneath the wood line covered by stock (typical for guns of this age which clearly saw field use and were not “safe queens”; nothing that affects mechanical performance of the gun). Bore in excellent condition with sharp rifling and no pitting. All in all, this is a nice example of a Mauser Type A sporter in a desirable hunting caliber for use as a working field gun. It is a shooter-quality piece, and priced accordingly. SOLD |
