The "limited edition MAUSER 1898-1998" in cal. 375H&H.
Does anyone have any info on these? Any good? What should it go for (it's unused)?

Its prolly not worth much, you might as well just send it to me and let me relieve you of the burden.

Last year's Franconia catalog lists the 8x57 for 1279,00 Euro. This is in original military configuration, marked with 1898-1998. They don't show it in any other caliber.

As far as I've understood, 100 of these were made in 375H&H and 100 in 416 Rigby. It's built on a square bridge action, so is most likely differant than the one you saw in 8X57 I would think? The price is 3800 Euro.

I would definitely say that they are different.

If they are built on the magnum length action, then 3800 Euro is a bargain.

Doesn't ALF have one of these? At any rate, he would be the guy to ask.

I know of a few in our area of the world. Any case? These were made on Reimer Johansen/Gol-matic action's.

Which caliber is it?

Johan,

It's in .375H&H
Are the ones you've seen any good?

Alf,

Thanks for the info. I would never contemplate putting Tallys, Warnes or something like that on a square bridge! Do feel it would be a no-no to put EAWs into the bridges, and add a 3 pos. safety on this commemorative rifle? This would make it more functional for me since it will be a scoped working rifle, not a wall hanger. But I'm thinking that this might be sacrilegious...

BTW, I saw on your photos of the Sigarms Mag mauser that it has Prechtls extra safety lock on the 3 pos. safety. This locks the safety in safe position does it not? How do you feel this works on on a DGR? Isn't it more time consuming to get the safety off, and thus a bit dangerous if the $hit hits the fan?

If this is the commemorative 100 year model, 3800 Euro is a very good buy. You should buy it (you can always get your money back at that price), use the open sights, don't alter it for scope mounts.
