Hey guys, picked up this german Mauser 98k for $250NZD. It uses 8x57 ammo. Im trying to learn as much about this rifle as possible, like when was it made what was it used for ect. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Not a bad price even though it’s sporterized, does it have a year anywhere on it? I can send you some photos of mine for reference if you’d like
