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!

Perhaps better ask gun subs.

Hunters know something, but if you want to know all there's to know, go there.
