Good job not reading other posts, moron. The scope is gone already.

The scope in the video mounted on a weaver rail that fits into the rear sight base. No drilling and tapping was done to the firearm. I would definitely disagree it ruins the rifle - it improves its usefulness a lot, in my opinion. As much as I love the Mauser, I can't help but not like the iron sights. They're very small and hard to use, especially if your eyesight isn't pitch perfect.

take this fucking scope off

you ruine the rifle !!

I got my K98 for $250, and last I checked 8mm Mauser goes for about $0.24 a round online. Which is really cheap compared to most .30-06 you'll find.

If your K98 is off, you might want to try and adjust the front sight. I need to do it for my K98, it shoots 6 inches to the left consistently since I reinstalled the rear sight. There are a few tutorials on youtube on adjusting this front sight, you'd either use a tool designed for it or a slightly modified c-clamp.

oh well shit if you want to use a large cal to hunt with you could geta 30-06 for pretty much the same price as that, and itll prolly be more realiable and accurate. i just took my 1917 kar98az to the range for the first time and that thing cant shoot straight for shit, kinda sad lol

Makes a really nice brush gun/hunting rifle that way. I'm all for not bubba-izing a rifle, but the K98's open iron sights are really not very nice. SMLE, Garand, even the Mosin-Nagant's sights are a lot nicer than the K98's. The rifle currently doesn't have the scope attached now, but I'm considering getting a peep rear sight or a scope since the v-notch sights are such a pain to use.

why would you put a modern scope on that
