I have seen quite a few rifles on gunbroker for sale that are Mauser 98 actions and are reasonably priced. Are they reasonably good actions or what's the scoop on them?

  I have a Mauser 98 that I received from my dad. He doesn't remember anything about the gun, it's caliber, year, model etc. It has the markings Rax98 and the serial number is 9033 with some kind of mark underneath it and on the bottom of the barrel under the stock is stamped BO.955 It has a BERLIN PECAR 6x59 scope on it that I found out was purchased in 1959. Does anyone know how I can find out more about this gun?, its absolutely gorgeous and in mint condition. I really want to know the caliber and the year it was made and any other information that I can. Thanks zlaw_1@charter.net

  Your rifle was made by Waffen Werke Brunn, aka BRNO. 1943 was the first year of K98k production at this facttory and about 220,000 rifles were produced before production ceased. Your serial number should be 4 digits with a single letter suffix- 7390 (Lowest observed)
  and 9864u (highest observed). Most of these rifles were delivered with laminated wood stocks and had the "cupped" type buttplate. These were very good quality rifles- well machined, finished, and blued. I hope this helps you.
