Midland Gun Company, a branch of Parker-Hale, built this Mauser 98 in .30-06 Springfield. The seller reports it is very good overall, set in an aftermarket stock that looks like a Bell and Carlson, and fitted with an aftermarket trigger described as bold. There is a scratch the seller notes in the listing. It is used, with a 24 inch barrel and a five round magazine.

Parker-Hale had a name for good Mauser sporting rifles in Britain, and the Midland line carried that tradition. A sporting Mauser 98 is a straightforward bolt gun with a strong action, controlled-round feed and a reputation for dependability in the field.

The aftermarket stock and trigger make this more of a custom hunting rifle than a historical piece. That is a plus for someone who wants to hunt, because a crisp trigger and a stable stock help with accuracy. Buyers who want a collector's rifle should look elsewhere.

.30-06 is one of the most flexible big game cartridges, with loads from light deer bullets to heavy elk loads. Add a scope and go hunting.

It is sold as described. It ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check is done there.
