8mm Mauser The bolt action 8mm Mauser rifle was the standard issue rifle of the german army during WWII. The mauser K98 which was the pinnacle of production for this weapon, was the result of decades of refinements to the mauser bolt action rifle. The design was also manufactured by other countries, including the former Yugoslavia, designated as the M48 (pictured on this page). Few rifles have been produced in such massive quantities, which has made it one of the more readily available military surplus firearms.
The K98 / M48 weighs right at 9lbs, so like most other military surplus rifles, it is not a light weapon to haul all over hell and back, but if you need it, the mauser wont let you down in a pinch. There are not too many living things that will remain living after a well placed shot with this rifle. The Mauser is also a very accurate rifle, the sniper version of the rifle is little more than the same weapon with a scope mounted to it. The iron sights are accurate although not all that easy to see. The rear sights are adjustable in 100m increments out to 2000 meters, and the front sight is a hooded blade sight(pictured).
