WWII German 98K rifle at 640 yards

[NewSchoolCrap]

What is better at accuracy mosin nagant or k98?

[zagstrukk]

@NewSchoolCrap Kar 98k in general

[Welther47]

@NewSchoolCrap It's the scope and the man. Not the rifle.

The russian PU scope is easier to adjust. The German scope required tools. (if you were thinking about snipers)

[semitones]

Hey mate. What scope are you using on the K98?

[MsSalessa]

Every time you use it please remember YOU are allowed to enjoy our weapons.

For us germans it's impossible without expensive bureaucracy, intense checks by authorities and a certificate of demand (i.e. being in a recognized association and shooting regularly x times a year) plus a check of knowledge how to handle firearms.

Sigh...

Don't let them take your rights straight away. For us it's too late.

Best regards from Germany

[ChromeGhost0219]

what camera is that?

[HamTheDog]

I want one :)

[UG2k3]

i love the reloadingsound :)

[redsalute3]

It's cool how you can see the hydrostatic shock that trails the bullet. Only video I've seen like that. Nice job!

[SuperDwang]

now that is impressive....

[pinselplins]

Hei I have also a K98K "Sniper" with a Carl Zeiss „zielvier“ and shoot at about 300 meters but I am looking for information on ammunition.

Bullet head and how much grain?

Powder and how much grain?

with best regards from Germany

[DonxxSollozzo]

Very nice rifle, man! Germans really know how to make great firearms!

[blauaugen63]

What kind of scope do do you use?

[machinegunmana]

WOW

[soccom8341576]

Beautiful.

[SnipeLarkin]

I would frightened with teh sound of every single shot out of this gun! I love it!

[renesisrx8]

I wish you could film through the scope to see how much he compensates for the distance.

[Mossbergtactical95]

wooow, good shooting, but that doesn't look like a great job pulling the trigger, maybe Im wrong, but it looks like your slapping that thing

[pyrewyrm]

@Mossbergtactical95

I would say the same but it is an optical illusion by the way the eye captures motion and the brain processes said motion... The recoil is still so fast even in the slow motion video that your brain associates the trigger squeeze and the recoil as one motion. That most I could tell from the shot is that there might be some dragging of wood but I will not say definitely because it is hard to impossible to tell from the camera angle.

[coppincopp]

where do you shoot? what country?

[Gam3Junkie]

@coppincopp

Montana i guess.

[coppincopp]

thx :)

[Gam3Junkie]

@coppincopp

US*

[Herbymac0811]

The weapon it's self is easly ably to reach out to 1,000yrds . It's only draw back is the skill shooter .

This guy is good not everyone can make such shot's , even with a modern scope . Now let's see it done with a WWII grade german issue scope .

[Rudolf555]

The K98's effective range with scope is around 600 metres.

[adearth531]

is the second range you are at called a place to shoot? off the 14 in socal? i thought that targert was 417 yards? oh well good job with my enfield standing off had i can hit it 50% of the time good job!! though

[mag30th]

Yup! Same place! And from the far left bench (where I usually shoot) it measures 420 yards.

[magvat]

thats a fly dude

[pinselplins]

In fishy, I'll shoot about 272 yards (250 meters), but 640 yards is impressive!

(I have no scope) ;)

[jthouse51]

Nice shooting! that was very impressive

[coolmike1989]

I can shoot my dads Mauser up to 500yards only with the iron sights! but even 1000 yards are no match for this rifle.

[mr454casu1l]

same. went out yesterday at 600 yards with the standerd sights and got a couple bullseyes. didn't hit much after that. fuckin wind kicked in and took my bullets all over the place.

[JeremysBugles]

damn you can actually kinda see the bullet in the air. breaking the sound barrier easily

[g1rd4p]

2:04

[TheThomy68]

What is the thing

the top left of the shooter

in 36 seconds? : o This is a UFO lool

beautiful video and super gun ;)

[DasBeck]

Gotta lovem.... best rifles ever

[skippythumper123]

All mauser's all awsome guns, But I myself think that the swiss mauser's are better then the German made ones. but thats just me.

[refdabeast]

i don't think so imo the German K98's are better because they were first made by the Germans. My K98 is German and i love it.

[dtechdude]

if you look extremely carefully right as the bullet is flying on the 4th shot, you can see the path of the bullet through the air

[hcmas]

damn you are right

[CorBinKaY76]

shit i saw it.

bummer he missed that one by not that much.

[Aundrich]

Love the Karbinier Gewher Mauser 98... Its a very good rifle the wehermacht used... I myself learned about them alot and whant one... I would like to get a traditional scope mount for it... The one with the T sites...

[BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

great job,got a handful of mausers myself.excellent rifle

[mred6554]

great video!

did you have the scope mounted on after you bought it?

if so how much did you pay? i just got a k98 and im wanting to slap a scope on it

[simmy2004]

quiet shot.

[animedudeguyman]

Damn that guns a beast!

[xpehbam68]

Love 98k Mauser

[bringdapainGER]

nice aiming, nice rifle

[angryace13]

yea, there is another movie he does shots from the same distance with a springfield 03, except he doesent use a scope XD and he hits the target, same guy. its awesome

[mnpd007]

This may have been asked already, but what is the condition of the bore on that rifle? My experience with military bores is that so long as the barrels don't accumulate brass, they still shoot quite accurately even when a bit dark and far less than perfect.

[Joetanrocks1]

Mine definatly had some wear and tear on mine, last time I checked. It still shoots pretty well, almost as good as some of my more modern ones.

[peterm3964]

Thats great no nonsense shootin .

[cc122008]

good shot good as mine dude sweet Awsome man

[monkeymanh2o]

nice

[sillythekid101]

this is probably the coolest thing ive seen all day. 5/5

[alccg4]

FODA VELHO... essa arma é linda!

[UJS8X]

Haha 88 ratings. What a coincidence. This is a good rifle to have know-it-alls who actually don't know their ass from their elbow about guns shoot. They're like "oh yeah I pwn with a Kar98K in call of duty this is gonna be easy" and then they go to shoot it and realize. Even better is after that you can punch their sore shoulder and say "still playin' call of duty!?"

[rampking1]

I got a Argentinian Mauser model 1891...what do you think?

I really need to get a good scope for it but I always hit the target at the rifle range.

[Gorbachev]

Curious what rig you used to mount your scope. Accumounts is making some very impressive split ring high turrets as well as solid ring turrets.

[lastopher7]

nice it sucks theres no place to shot over 300 yards on long island

[Acornoa]

i guess "long Island" is not long enough. lawl

[lastopher7]

haha ture

[mark31kent]

great shooting...i have a mauser and when i pull the bolt back after fireing it does not seem to eject the case very well,it kind off just drops out now..what part do you think is worn...thanks again for the vid and any advice

[Dp908]

The ejector is worn out.

[buffuzo]

Do you like donuts?

[Antibacterialspray01]

How much $ to scope your Mauser and bolt modification? I have an un-used M48A I would like to do that to. & learn some reloading skills on that caliber. Good to see someone shooting a Mauser that far!!

[SavageArms357]

Very nice shooting.

[crowboy99]

Mag thats some nice shooting, but what do you prefer between a Kar98 rifle and a Mosin-Nagant?

[mag30th]

Hard to say. With factory ammo, the 98K, with handloads, the 91/30.

[light121]

very nice:) I've got one as well. What scope are you using and how did you mount it?

[ford46001]

hey were could i get one of these at and what is the average price range on one??

[armormaster]

Nice to see A Place to Shoot again. I unfortunately moved out of state, but I used to go their all the time. I hit the 420 yd target at the top of the hill a couple times with my M91/30 and No 4 Mk 1 Lee Enfield. I just got a Mitchell's Mauser K98k and love it, just wish I could use it on that range! Anyway, nice vid and nice rifle! I like how you can see the bullet manipulating the air like that! Where do you get your ammo? I'm stuck with the Remington Core Lokt, their has to be cheaper...

[FTBLN]

Nice camera. If you watch carefully at 2:04, you can even see - for a short moment - the bullet changing the refractive index of the air in its near surrounding

[abuerne]

WOW, that is very impressive! Mausser 98K is a rifel Ive' been meaning to get for a long time.

[cyb0rg2]

nice vid

[2ip]

great vid

[streetskater916]

which would you say is more accurate the naget or kar 98k seems like kar is more silent but yeah.

[mag30th]

With standard military ammo, the 98K is most accurate, with handloads, I'd say they are close.

[oponka57]

one hand sniper?

[nick95playa]

you can see the bullet when the camera man zooms in at the beging. And does the shooter look like that anoyong cop from police acadamy?

[Ironfistconsumerist]

Which rifle did you like more, the Mosin Nagant or the K98?

[arva300178]

Mosin Nagant and you ?

[mag30th]

Both... :-)

[SharpShooter19853]

Ex sniper?

[mag30th]

Nope, Im just a shooting junkie for the last 30 years, in need of a life :-)

[captainporpoise]

So you DIDN'T learn to shoot at Pendleton?

[mag30th]

Nope, just a long-time high-power rifle shooting junkie.. :-)

[captainporpoise]

Impressive.

[tjsmith51]

@mag30th My God. If I was in battle, I want you next to me with and scoped rifle available.

[animaniacsrule]

1 of them if not the best bolt action rifle of the 20th century i have 1 myself

[mxm190]

does this rifle use a 7.62x54 round?

[TobiasGERMANY]

No, the original MAUSER K98k uses 7.92 x 57 mm rounds. Also known as 8 mm Mauser.

[elementsk8r1873]

spittle8  it is DEER!! k and u can actually c the bullets on the 420 yds!!!!

[sidensvans54]

god shot kid you got it!

[erik7x57]

Rock solid. It is not the rifle, but the rifleman. Few things are more satisfying than the delayed sound of a bullet smacking into something over 500 yds out. Can't wait to have my 98 scoped out.

[mmoviefan7]

nice shooting

[MatthewG111]

lol teh bush was moving

[BleedingInto]

Gotta love the vapor trail.

[UrbanTiger74]

Another outstanding video.

[00dawnedxinxashes00]

still tho we're not talking anything dangerous are we? like the grade of steel didn't go down or anything? did they use less steel?

[00dawnedxinxashes00]

hmm, lower quality how? =(

i notice the stock is thinner then the Russian captured ones of seen but its made out of solid wood and not plywood or "laminated" wood, its much lighter probably cuz of that and the metal ring thing used to take apart the bolt isn't incorporated into the stock

[00dawnedxinxashes00]

great video and GREAT shooting!

i just bought a k98 all original all matching k98 G.I bring back

code is "dot" 1944 and i bought it for 468 bucks

was that a good deal or did i get ripped off?

[gamohunter1985]

do u think this gun would be good for deer hunting at all or should i invest in something else?

[DANIAC262]

yea it will kill anything but there are countless numbers of hunting rifles. a .270 is a very popular deer rifle

[fortaaron]

depending on what caliber it is its great fot deer hunting, and if its to high of a caliber then get a lee enfield (303 britishbolt) its a great gun fot allround hunting

[spittle8]

A Mauser K98 will put down a dear no problem. I'd take mine bear hunting if I were so inclined. They're extremely accurate rifles, and they're still a great deal.

[Erron2007]

the rounds are generally 170 grains, they kick a little. dont bother him for flinching a little when it pushes you back a foot an a half.

[mag30th]

These are 200 grain match bullets, and thanks!

[ambergerftriley]

how hard is it to get a scope mounted on a 98k . im getting one soon and wondered what a good scope would be for it too.

[TX1790]

blinking after the shot isn't flinching...this dude's a great shot.

[MoxleyMauser]

How do you get your stripper clip to work so smoothly when pushing the bullets in.

Mine is very stiff, and the bullets will not move whatsoever. Have any advice?

I tried to keep the bullets as straight as possible, but still too stiff, almost like the clip is bent.

[MoxleyMauser]

Here's my gun, to hell with the Mosin Nagant.

[SavageHmr]

Hey now the nagant in the us is cheap and easy to find and makes a good beater gun.

[qasfolk1]

Love the flinch!

[peepoez]

thats some damn fine shooting

[xXgothicangelXx666]

sorry for all my questions but how would i know if the barrel was shot out on my mauser? it dose not seem to group well at all, i shot it at 50 yards with a bench rest and put 3 rounds on the page but my enfield put an entire box =(

and also is it okay for the primer to be sticking out a tiny bit after firing? i know these arent the correct bolts so i was wondering if that was okay

[xXgothicangelXx666]

would u recommend using hot loads through these guns? i mean with the age and varying conditions of the rifles, not to mention miss matched parts would it be a good idea to push the maximum loads?

[mag30th]

1 of 2 No, not really, meaning, I dont like recommending hot loads for other people. As far as my rifle, I am aware of how the receiver/bolt sync together, & I feel confident with the loads I shoot through it, I have no worry about it disintegrating. But others will ask what loads Im shooting and Im uncomfortable providing my load info, not that Im uninterested in helping, I just dont know their rifle, and Im not interested in taking responsibility for them blowing their face up.

[mag30th]

2 of 3 A better example of what Im talking about is with my videos of my 91/30 Russian sniper rifles, read some of the comments. I think you would have to load a Mauser with C4 to blow the receiver, but with the 91.30 dont think it would take that much. Many people, unfamiliar with reloading, after reading that I use .308 projectiles in the Russian 91/30, have tried to fire .308 NATO bullets through their 91/30 rifles.

[mag30th]

3 of 3 That is an extreme example but captures how some people think, primarily those unfamiliar with hand loading. Im more than happy to help someone already familiar with hand loading, but I do not wish to teach someone from the ground up nor am I I willing to accept the responsibility of someone who is unfamiliar with hand loading kill themselves or destroying their rifle.

[xXgothicangelXx666]

completely understandable i wouldn't want to be burdened with that kind of responsibility either

thank you anyway though

i do hand load but i dont think i want to go to the trouble of of all that is required with making hot loads for this rifle, and i dont want to blow my face off either =p

[L0ngLiveRnR]

Unbelievable you can see the bullets when the camera zooms... unbelievable!

[otowise]

what sort of grouping do you get at 100yrds with that set up

[mag30th]

Under an inch, Ive got these same loads now hitting the same target at 900 yards, it on the other video.

[xXgothicangelXx666]

hmm hows the bore on ur rc? mine has pitting and at 100 yards dose not group to well and the bullets go to the left. any tips (im using iron sights* i haven't cleaned the barrel since i got it with anything but a wire rod (i only put maybe half a box of Remington ammo through it)any so should i use the solvents first? oh i in boxed u a wile back with sum questions, just didn't know if u got em or not

[xXgothicangelXx666]

whats your favorite old rifle u have byw? i see u got alot of em, im guessing its not ur arisaka but what about of all your bolt actions? just curious

i love ur sprinfeild but ur mauser is nice too, although since i have one i guess id say next im really jheleous of ur smle (i have a no4 mk1* savage) then ur nagant =)

[mag30th]

My Lee Enfield No.1 Mk III is the most fun to shoot, It just seems like the perfect rifle to me, everything about it is nice. And 2nd would be the 91.30s, and third the Garands. :-)

[95000026]

this man should teach sniper school!

[mag30th]

Thanks, but this type of shooting is about all I do, I need a life.. :-)

Thanks though!

[xXgothicangelXx666]

what u need is a girlfriend =P im kidding ur an AMAZING shot id love to shoot that good but wouldn't wanna dedicate the time (im a lazy fuck i know) is that Russian captured?

[mag30th]

Thanks! Yes, it is a RC.

[95000026]

hate to be a wild animal in the woods with this beast shooting i would die!

[odessa1982]

realy good weapon! but the shooter must be good two:-)!

[partyboy824u]

Arizona?

[mag30th]

No, Mojavie desert.

[zandercruise]

Mag, Thank you for making these videos man!!!

[tyrvidar]

These old rifles hold their own don't they. I love my Mausers, and after seeing your Nagants I started building my own scoped 91/30. Going to use modern Russian optics on it though. Leaving the stock and everything else stock.

[chillz007]

love this weapon soooo much !!

[Hai2uHorst]

Very nice shooting, though I don't know much about shooting with scopes like these, I did shoot a lot with the G36 when I served in the army and shooting at 500m was already quite hard, resulting in a 50% hit ratio. So, respect my friend. =)

[jubbles2343]

you could actually see shot 3 fly through the air

[noah3824]

wow, jubbles2343 i thought you hated the mauser, no offence

[jubbles2343]

no mate its a great weapon, just not as good a battle rifle as the Enfield. Its a very accurate rifle and lovely to shoot.

[noah3824]

i like the mauser better, you like the enfield better, thats fine its all in the persons preferinces

[jubbles2343]

*nods in agreement*

[noah3824]

lol

[rtison]

That's not the Sniper rifle and ZF41 Zeiss scope, or mount.

Someone's stuck that scope on it.

[mag30th]

That is why I wrote in the comment, to the left of the video, "It is an original 1941 K98 German Mauser with a modern scope."

And if you took the time to read the comments, I make it very clear.

I'm clueless where you got the impression that I'm alleging that this rifle has a ZF41 Zeiss scope and mount.

[screamingcockatoo]

Are you a SigForum member?

I recognize the avatar.

[germansharpshooter]

very very nice rifle, i would like to have one of these

[tyrvidar]

Fuck the ZF41 Scope, with modern optics, it brings these surplus rifles out to their true performance levels. Just keep the rest of the rifle as is and that's all that matters. You can remove a scope when ever you want.

[SS13E3]

so how much bullet drop and windage was there?

[1508205]

HI,I have a mauser m48, I want to put a scope on it but is hard to find a good gunsmith here, so I want to ask you how much you pay and where did you took it to get it fix. I ask this 'cause I live in sanfernando valley and recognized you film this video at 'aplace to shoot' shooting range right?

[germansharpshooter]

hey is not sure what kind of rifle do you have but the m48 is made in yugoslavia and is a copy of mauser.if it is a german mauser 98 you are a lucky man, but a yugo m48 is very good.dont take it personaly because you know better than me what kind of rifle do you have,have nice shooting with it.

[nightrub]

wich scope are you using? and waht magnification does it have

[G3RM4N1]

how many meters are 600 yards???

[mag30th]

640 yards equals 585.22 meters.

[dfxjedi]

Looks like that one kicks a lot.

Very good shooting.

[yoyogr11]

see araund there is an U.F.O. AT the first shot i think!!!

[DDelta]

Hello :) First I love it when people put scopes on old rifles Thx. Two what kind of scope mount did you use, and how hard was it to put on?

[Zobor111]

Put a 12x scope on it, then really reach out and touch someone!

[AmonGoeth88]

Hello!

I m a german! ;) (plz excuse my bad english)

okay my question is, do you use 8x57 IS or Winchester .308! i mean is it a new, we said in german "Lauf" or is it the original 8x57 IS?

[mag30th]

I use the 8x57. Thanks!

[AmonGoeth88]

thx! i love 8x57! nice hunting caliber!

[MDrebellion]

not bad, but you should use an original scope. then even if you hit then you are a real 98k sniper. One Shot One Kill. I would like to see how your hits.

[mag30th]

Thanks, but do you have any idea how much a authentic WWII era German scope and mount would cost though? between $1500 and $2000. When I can afford it I will. But thanks!

[Bandito8487]

what kind of mounts and scope did you use.... I have a 1940 Mauser i want to put a scope on.

[mag30th]

The scopes that I'm using on this rifle (and my 300 Weatherby) are the Bushnell Legend 5-15x40 Rifle Matte Mil Dot 755154M.

[Gungeek]

Some nice shooting!!!

[hot318]

I've said it on your other video with the 91/30 nagant and i'll say it here again, great shots and i like how you can see the bullet's "wake" as it cuts through the air. awesome.
