Geweht Werks GEW 88 8MM Bolt Action Sporter Rifle with Checkered Round Knob Walnut Stock


Description:
Here is an interesting forerunner of the Mauser 98.  This finely designed and crafted GEW 88 rifled features an octagon barrel and fine engraving on the receiver, magazine area and detail parts.  Additional features include double set triggers, and stripper clip loading.  The stock features round knob, raised cheekpiece, sling swivels, Schnabel fore end and curved steel butt plate.  Truly an extraordinary rifle in the early development of bolt actions.  For some additional background, check out “Early German Bolt-Action Sporters Set a Standard” by Terry Wieland in the 2016 Gun Digest.

See the pictures for condition.  

Happy to talk, text or email any time.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for looking!    8555066 HKE 4B
