Well it really depends on what you want the k98k goes from $250.00 to $1000.00 for a all matching bnz marked rifle. Personally for $100.00 you can't go wrong with a mosin nagant. Stay away from the 42-44 marked rifles as the milling can be very bad. My rule of thumb is that pre and post war mosin nagants are the best. The mosin nagant is not perfect however, the safety sucks, it's so bad I don't even use it. The k98 or the Gew98 is a very nice rifle and for a average price for $399.00 from Micthells Mausers it is a great rifle. I don't know much about the M1903 but I would assume it's a good rifle since it's a mauser copy. They are expensive anywhere form $750.00-$1200, but in the long run it would be cheaper to shoot because the 30-06 is everywhere in sporting goods stores since it is such a popular game round.
The Model 1903A3 rifle is base upon the Mauser 98 action but they are not exactly the same.
About the same. The 1903 Springfield used a licensed version of the Mauser action used on the German Model 1898 Mauser.
It means the action of the rifle was made by Mauser or copied by someone.
the 700 nitro express is a beast the .700 nitro express or the 4 bore
The German Gewehr 98 rifle and its derivatives. The reason behind this was because of the Mauser bolt-action design that was used in this rifle was so reliable and robust that it was copied by numerous other nations. The American Springfield 1903, for example, was almost a direct copy of the Gewehr 98. Springfield was actually sued by Mauser at one point because of the similaries.
Many Mauser rifles were converted into shotguns after WWI.
$300-$450. This rifle was made either by Heym or by FN. If a true Mauser action it will be made in Belgium by FN. Otherwise it will be a Mauser 3000 made by Heym.
