    Most likely a military Mauser action that has been sporterized by installation of a 6mm barrel and Monte Carlo stock.

    The 6mm Remington is a good caliber but scarce because Winchester had a better handle on the marketing side and took over with the .243. But if you are a handloader, the 6mm is a fine round. Since it is pretty much a 7mm Mauser necked down to 6mm, it will run through the Mauser magazine smoother than the stubby .243, maybe why the original builder chose it.

    Dollar value is for a nameless rifle in a good but uncommon caliber that shoots however well it happens to. That is, not much.

    barney935,

    Welcome to the forum!

    I agree with what Hawk Carse says. You probably have a sporterized Mauser. The serial numbers and the description of the safety pretty much show it to be that. The 6mm Rem is a better choice both in that rifle and for overall velocity. Best accuracy between the two is debatable.

    Pics would really help if you were trying to find a value for the rifle. As you mentioned it's in a good looking piece of wood and functions well. You might pull it out of the stock and see if there are any proof marks on the bottom or below the wood line on the sides.

    It's probably going to be easier than you think to post pics on a host site and post them here.

    Barney,

    Pls check the receiver's left siderail for any stamp-impressed characters, or per above suggestions post-up a pic of the same area. We could thus likely advise ya pretty quick.

    Hello, and welcome to the forum. Are you looking for info to resell the rifle or for your own use? Any which way the Mauser 98 has been sporterized for many decades now. The quickist way to identify a M98 is to look for the thumb cut in the left hand wall of the reciever. The milspec actions had this so that in the field the left hand thumb can aid in pushing the cartridges down into the magwell. This is a large, one inch plus, rounded gap in the sidewall of the action just forward of the bolt stop. If yours does not have this feature it is most likely not a surplus M98 rifle. If it does then it is and sporter/custom M98 conversions range from garbage to glorious, as do the value they command. Pics are of course the best answer.......
