I had a Turk in 8mm. I sold it because I didn't like the length. It was long and awkward like a Mosin. I do still have a shorter Yugo 8mm. It's an awesome shooter. I've been on the look out for a k98 too..haven't run across many and of those. The few I have found were either out of range of what I'd spend on one or junk.
Reworked, overhyped, over priced rubbish. Buy a real honest Mauser. A Mitchells will be worth 50% of what you pay when your card is charged.palmettomoon why is that?

you could try putting up a WTB ad. From what I understand, sometimes you can get a pleasant surprise. You could get a Russian capture K98 - those are cheaper if you are looking for a shooter. You can get even cheaper with something like a Yugo M48 if you aren't dead set on a "real" K98
they're still german mausers, just captured and their original marking eliminated either somewhat to totally gone. mithells did add a few marks to up their price and form what heard put them in a nice wooden box
I've never put any effort into finding one...just keeping an eye out. It's never going to be a priority.RdKill Ive been looking too but the prices are just all over the place and people just hoard the things any way.
The best way to find exactly what you're looking for or a great deal is to spend your entire budget on an impulse buy that you'll later regret. Without fail, it will be a matter of days before you find exactly what you want at a great bargain.
Color me snobby but it's just lipstick on a pig. RCs are $325 - $350 around here. No need to pay Don Mitchell an extra 500 bucks for faked up crap. To each his own I guess.
