Paul von Mauser passed away May 29, 1913, and left an everlasting legacy with the Gewehr 98 system bolt action magazine rifle. Last year, 2023, marked the 125th Anniversary of the 98 Mauser. It is the most notable turn bolt action rifle ever designed as it has been copied more than any other. The 98 system was Paul Mauser's masterpiece. Mauser made fewer sporting rifles than all other major arms maker's but the impact of that very design will never be exceeded. No one has beaten him since and most likely no one ever will.
