I have an opportunity to purchase a Mauser model 3000 in 375 H&H. Rifle has a 2&3/4 Leupold with Conetrol mounts and is in as new condition. Not a mark on it! All I know about these rifles is that they were made in Germany during the early seventies. Anyone here have any experience or opinions about the 3000? Note: This is NOT the model 600 or 660. (Same company but different, more expensive gun) Second question: Is this gun worth a grand in as new condition? Third question: If I break something, like an extractor, are parts available? Any and all input would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill

The Mauser 2000 (Europa) and 3000 (USA market) were manufactured by Heym, Germany. They are as good as other modern push feed bolt actions.
