Mauser M 98

The Mauser M 98 is a bolt-action rifle of German origin. The production of the controlled round feed Mauser 98 system for the German military ceased at the end of World War II in 1945, and the new Mauser M 98 and M 98 Magnum rifles, intended for the civilian market, have been produced in the city of Isny im Allgäu in Germany by Mauser Jagdwaffen GmbH, a subsidiary of SIG Sauer.
The modern Mauser M 98 is practically a civilian version of the Karabiner 98k, which was one of the final developments in the long line of Mauser 98 military rifles dating back to World War I. Similar to the Kar98k, though more modern in appearance, the M 98 is offered in many different hunting rifle specializations.
