Any of them can be had for under $500.

I got several of those "no blue" Samco Persian Mausers for $200 each. With the stock cleanup and rebluing, I have a total of $350 into each.

To this..



09 Argentine's can be had for well under $500, with careful shopping. I got this for $290 plus a 15% buyer's premium...call it $335. All matching, including the cleaning rod.


If you want a great shooting Mauser and don't mind a small ring, you might try a Swedish Mauser with diopter sights. I got both of these from Simpson's Ltd --one for $325 and the other for $375, less 10% because I bought both--call it $290 and $335.


Another excellent small ring Mauser that is commonly available for well under $500 is a Chileno M95 Mauser. All matching with a lightly buffed crest. I got it for $160.


Any of the "best" Mausers can be had for well under $500. The key is patience and vigilance

Im in oz however seeing US prices i'd say you could have any of the major selling mausers with the only variable being condition. One of the cheaper ones in Australia is the Israeli 7.62 converted .

Its my most accurate every day shooter. Great rifle for the money.

Best rgds.
