This one is a feeler as I'm still very attached to it but I'm getting married and could use some cash towards wedding. I have a 1943 Manlicher 43 G98/40 WW2 rifle in service condition, real nice petina, original stock with name engraved in it, shoots straight as the day it left the factory, silky smooth bolt action chambered in 8x57 this rifle is very rare, only 55,000 made in 1943 and even less in following years. $1250 and I'm pretty firm on this, it's only going to get more and more rare and I do not have to sell it and may decide not to sell it at all.

Isn't it pretty much a K98?

I'll get some pictures tonight after work. Like I said I'm kind of attached because it is an odd rifle and it works so well. I still have to go through hunters safety unfortunately, but plan on hunting with my K98 Mitchells Mauser gonna make it a sniper replica should be fun.
