What Is The Best Mauser Rifle Bar None?
I think this post should get a lot of responses. I was looking through the 4th Edition of "Mauser-Military Rifles of the World" and was amazed at how many versions and how many countries the Germans built the Mausers for. If you had a choice, what would be your pick for the finest Mauser ever produced. Best as in large ring, stock material, caliber, lenght, etc. Just the all around best of all worlds!

whew-hooo! That's a tall order! "Best" according to what criteria? I think the 1891 Argies are beautiful examples of the gun makers art. In general, I'd say the So. American Mausers are best.

That's a tough one ... I guess for a rifle I was going to use I would go for a small-ring '98, preferably BRNO. With a short barrel and decent wood. For a military rifle, I guess the Swede, 1908 Brazil, 19109 Argentine (I've owned all of them, including multiple Swedes). For hunting elk and stuff, I would want 8X57 targets it wold be 6.5X55, deer and general shooting, probably 7X57. Too bad Mauser never offered a 6X57 (AKA 6mm Remington) or a .25 cal (AKA .257 Roberts). The Chinese Army did order up a bunch of '98s in a .270 cal. (6.8X57). So which was the best? Hard to tell ...

That answer is easy!
The best "Mauser" in the world is the one you own that shoots good and you like it.
That rifle is different for about everyone.
