The Mauser is often referred to as the pinnacle of the bolt action rifle. Elements are still used in most modern bolt actions today. An extremely wide variety of manufacturers made these amazing rifles in a wide variety of calibers. They can be chambered in the standard 8mm Mauser, 7mm Mauser, 6.5mm Swede, 7.65mm Argentine, .308, and even the odd sporter caliber 9mm Mauser. In order of appearance: Yugoslavia, Spain, Czechoslovakia, Mexico, and a Russian captured K98k (all prior are in our possession), Brazil, Argentina, Persia, and another Spanish, are just some of the countries that produced Mausers. Variants of these rifles have been used as recently as the Yugoslav wars and some have even seen use by insurgents in the Middle East. -R
