You scored on that stock! Getting such a close fit from a stock that was fitted to another rifle with another custom bolt handle with another custom Barrel was just some awesome luck! And the price was right too! Don't worry about that Gap at the back of the tang. When I fit a barrel action to a stock I always leave a gap at the back of the tank to prevent recoil forces from splitting the stock through the wrist. The purest would say you have to get some inletting black and some scrapers and fit the stock and action together, but as a good standard working/hunting rifle, I would just glass bed it in. Epoxy bedding will give you an excellent metal to would fit and never really give you any long-term problems. I hope you did good this last hunting season with that rifle!

Nice 308 Tom. Thats a pretty good round for that gun. I think the 308 is one of the best ever made. Great video.

What a thing of beauty how that stock fit and your joy.

Very interesting video the k 98 is the forunner of a lot of great rifle actions. And that stock wow you were very blessed to find that at that price. The 308 Winchester is the Deer Hunters preferred caliber here in WV other than 30-30 Win. So get out and enjoy the nature we are so blessed to have.😁

I thank God every day to be able to enjoy the great outdoors. Without his blessings, we have nothing. BTW, the 30-30 is another favorite of mine.

Looks beautiful can't even tell its and old rifle... brand spanking new ✨️

I'm just seeing this today 4/5/24. You have a nice looking Rifle . I recently bought a Mauser 98 Sporterized in 3006. It has the same pachmeyer pad. I put a Weaver scope on it to be period correct. I to want to hunt this fall with my Mauser.

Thanks for yet another interesting video. This Mauser 98 series showcases my favorite bolt action (along with its first cousin, the Model 70): a classic rifle becoming even more classy! Well done, Sir. Merry and Blessed Christmas to you and yours, and good fortune afield.

She turned out really nice.

Nice rifle. God bless You Sir.

You can hear the groans of a thousand Milsurp Guys. LOL

I sure enjoy your videos...KEEP POSTING MORE...IM A DEVOTED FAN ..!!!

Thanks! Sorry for the late reply.

Richards micro gun stocks has a large number of stocks for the Mauser at a fair price. I have used his stocks many times.

Great video from unboxing to finish sight-in. Classic rifle/cartridge. Should serve you well for the rest of your hunting days. That old stock is probably a Fajean (misspelled I'm sure) or maybe an old style Boyd's. They were popular way back. Better ammo will tighten those groups. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed today.

If the barrel isn't floated I would float that barrel. Good luck with it. 🌲🍻

@@jakegrubb7630 Wow! 368 yards is a long ways out there. I guess the .308 is capable of more than I gave it credit for. A 2 foot inside spread is a real whopper. Wish I could get a really big buck like that some day. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing. Keep huntin' my friend, and Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Very nice good job

. 308 is my favorite caliber and I shoot 150 gr.. I usually load seirra or Hornady SST. Nice rifle also . Merry Christmas God bless 🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏

I'd never do this... but I'd buy one off of someone that did! I love the surplus stuff just as it is, but that is gorgeous!

so that redfield mount bridges the charging hump. i like that

I've always liked a bridge mount as well.

Nice. How is the lop? I shot some S & B .303 British into some jugs. The core seperated too and expanded to the size of about a quarter. We ran that load thru a chrono and got right at 2700 with a 150 sp.

I believe your stock was likely manufactured by Bishop. i had a Bishop one exactly like that one with that same Pachmyr recoil pad.

Chambering in .308 a great choice!

I have the same 308 my stock was in good shape

I have my Dads M98 Mauser,I rebarrelled it with a Shilen stainless chambered it in 30-06 put a Timney trigger that rifle is a tack driver with half inch groups at 100 yards with Federal factory ammo..special rifle that one

I'm about to do the same, any issues with the length of the 30-06 ? It barley fits in the magazine, & yes I have other mausers including a Peruvian in 30-06, all the same size, the Peruvian is notched on the reciever for 06 / stripper clips but I hand load it, it's tight & easy to deform the tips if not careful, I wish I could find an 8mm sporter barrel

Can I ask how to make a Mauser M98 bolt smoother? There is a lot of carbon deposits inside the receiver, bolt is clean, can I use polishing paste?

I've got a rifle looks almost like that one but in a 25-06

curious as to why all lead was shed when shooting into water jugs but had good lead retention in wet newspaper. now you have one hell of a mess to clean off your range

@CumberlandOutdoorsman

Жыл бұрын

Indeed so. The water jugs always seem to cause more upset to hunting bullets generally speaking. I think the hydraulic shock from the water jugs is more intense than the wet newspaper medium.

Tom i have a spanish mauser in 308 bought it from Kmart , back in the late ,80s, do you know any books on old mauzers,??

Wish the bolt in my rifle bolt worked like that one

That’s an old Herters stock, 50s / 60 s grip cap was the giveaway! You need some Jerry Fisher stock scrapers and action Gide pins inlet black and acraglass, you’re wrong slapping it in the stock like that

The stock looks German! Very Nice!

Check out Richards Microfit gun stocks if you haven't heard of them. They make some pretty nice stocks for good prices.

I'd be careful, it looks like those bullets may bounce off deer. 😋

I think you are referring to my comment of the bullet "bouncing off" of the last jug. After the round blows through 4 jugs of water, it expended nearly all of it's energy, and so sometimes it will actually bounce off the last jug because there's not enough momentum left to penetrate the surface and end up inside to be captured. I should have explained my comment when I was looking for the mushroomed bullet.

The best place to buy stocks and for all of the different Mauser actions is Boyde's stocks. You have the option of choosing some 20 models of stocks and pick types of checkering patterns and allot of your own costuming work you want for the stock. I am choosing the Boyde's Parrie Hunter stocks then choose the Deer pattern fish scale checkering pattern and a 13 -1/4 length of pull and black for end caps for the last commercial Mauser 98 in 300 Wby magnum. The laminated wood color I picked was the Orange + gray color that reminds me of fall forest colors. KZread has many video's about Boyde's stocks

With the right bullet that 308 will drop deer out to 400 + yards with no problems I've carted a 308 for years !! Merry Christmas & Happy. New. Year. 🍻
