Mauser 98?

Mauser 98?

no, it looks like the stock on this one goes all the way to the muzzle

I say it's a Steyr Classic hunting rifle. Like this: http://www.steyr-mannlicher.com/jagdwaffen/classic/

Looks like a Mannlicher style or time.

I thought it was a Mannlicher as well, but the bolt handle is rounded not spooned. Possible it was changed, but never seen it rounded.

Na. This is a commercial 98. Fully stocked 98ers are not uncommon.
Why is this not a Mannlicher ?
-Magazine plate.
-No butterknife bolthandle.

Here in the states, a full length stock is referred to as a Mannlicher style.



A possibility: Husqvarna 1600H

Stutzen with a Mauser 98 system, definitely not a Steyr-Mannlicher Luxus.

That is a good looking rifle.
