I was wondering if anyone owns one, in what caliber and what they think of it? I'd appreciate any shared thoughts and opinions. Thanks.

Have one in .22 and am pleasantly surprised at the quality and accuracy. No twang or buzz and lots of power with very little recoil. The trigger is very good and it is quite accurate. Nice, solid rifle.

I have one in .22. I left the steel sights on and it was deadly accurate out of the box. I’ve only put 50 rounds though it as most my guns are new, but no time. Two squirrels can agree with it’s accuracy. It’s nicely finished, with I‘m sure Mauser put their touches on it and stamp.
I’m not any kind of an expert on targeting and it’s internals. I would recommend this gun for sure. Crow

A friend of mine won one at the PA shoot a couple years ago. I got a chance to try it out and I liked it a lot. I even offered to buy it and the answer was no. Oh well.

Thanks for the responses. That pretty much sums up what the YouTube reviews are saying. I'm going to order one I'm just unsure about the caliber. I have a ample arsenal of critter getters, this would be a target rifle... in fact I already have a scope sitting here waiting for it.

Is it all metal safety and trigger area? Or did they place some plastic here and there!? Always a deal breaker for me

After you get it and test it out, let us know how you like it. I was kind of interested in it myself because I had a 8 mm Mauser that was made in 1942 but ended up selling it like a dummy. I still have my 303 British though and will take it to the grave. It was made in 1915. I’m thinking it might’ve seen both wars but is in pretty nice shape. But anyway I was always interested in those military replicas. That’s another sickness that I have, is collecting military items from Civil War to Vietnam war. And that’s one reason I can’t afford a lot of expensive guns because I have several different hobbies.

Thanks for the heads-up... I'm tempted but I think I'll wait for a new one. It'll also give me time to decide on the caliber

Metal butt end
Nice job replicating the K 98. It’s amazing they can cast two pieces with metal
to hold the woodwork on the front of the stock, but the safety end is plastic. Crow
Thanks for the pics. Dang, all that well done work and finish it with plastic. I wish companies didn't try and save a buck on a highly used part and just upcharged the consumer. I would rather pay $50 more and get all metal.

I never took the leap into pcp's. It always seemed like too much of an investment. I know there are a lot of folks into them.

I feel the same way. I never wanted to mess with a PCP. I would get the spring version of the K98.

I was thinking on the PCP version, it can be hand pumped to make things simple, and has the bolt action with a mag. I had a Discovery when they first came out, it was a nice reliable gun, mostly wood and metal and light, I liked it. Crankin off 12 consecutive shots with a bolt action K98 sounds fun
