Mausers

[cimino289]

Anyone know what a German Mauser usually sells for? I remember the days of Mitchell's mausers but never see them on the market now.

@dakota port I don't even remember now

 

[cimino289]

I just saw people asking numbers all over the place for the Mitchell's ones so I figure I'd ask what a German k98 was worth these days.

It's a pretty big range... $400-$3000, but I'd guess the top of the bell curve is probably $500-$600 right now. I haven't seen any decent ones lately though. The last Mitchell's I saw was posted up for $500

Well that's around what I thought 500-600 I've never personally laid eyes on a 3000 dollar Mauser T TapcoFan

A very attractive example, not import-marked. PHOTOS . . . $4750. C & R SOLD


Empire Arms usually has some really cool stuff for sale - apparently I was wrong about the upper end of the range, but hey, after $1K I'm not able to buy anyways.

T TapcoFan yeah the sniper rifle is an exception. But you're right we're not dropping that kinda money on bolt actions. Shoot a couple more grand and I could buy a barret.

Buying a Mitchells is like buying a Glock here. Don't do it.

 

[cimino289]

palmettomoon why is that?

Amen. I don't like to spend more than $500 on anything - basically I won't feel bad about shooting it a lot.
