I have always had a soft spot for old sniper rifles mainly because I like old optics and there is something intrinsically interesting in shooting vintage equipment - whatever the make. So with that in mind, absolute authenticity will be taking second place to function and availability this one is for shooting!
I wanted a good working example as I fancied taking it out after deer to see how it would perform. To me it was of no concern as to the rifle not being a true sniper, just as long as the rifle and scope were period I could live with the modern additions. Most of the rifles you see advertised are “made up” snipers, often period K98 and scopes are used but after market mounts are usually fitted. There are numerous variants of rifle, scope mounts and scopes available but it would be foolish to expect a “true” sniper rifle to turn up because they are extremely rare and could cost £10,000 plus. For many years I’ve hankered after a K98 sniper rifle, so I decided to search for a suitable candidate.
