Product Details
Serial #6423N2 This offering is for the pictured 98 Mauser Target Rifle. Built up on a 98 Mauser action by well regarded Maine gunsmith Bill Morrison.

Chambered in 6.5 x 68 RWS, a caliber introduced in Germany by 1940 as the most powerful European 6.5 rimless cartridges of the time.  Listed in RWS and Hirtenberg ammunition catalogs it is similar to the 264 Winchester Magnun but for the .264 belted case. Popularity was likely eclipsed by the WW2.

Gunsmith Bill Morrison a German firearms enthusiast built up this rifle on a "98 action" Vz24 Mauser receiver. 28 inch Morrison made heavy target barrel, receiver and barrel are tapped to mount a Unertal scope and base which are not present. (base holes are front 1.75 inch spacing and rear .860) Double set triggers, bolt action single shot. 

Full blued finish on the metal with a brite and jeweled turned down bolt. 

Attractive hardwood stock with ergonomic grip and cheek swell. Whitefeather butt pad has some crazing of the years.

The Morrison made barrel that were installed of firearms for sale are well marked with his name. We obtained this one from his estate and he did not mark the barrels for his personal firearms.

Chambered in 6.5 x 68 RWS, the bore is brite and excellent.
