This video showcases Steve Ostrem's custom-built sporterized Mauser 98 hunting rifle, a 1960s-style build using a Mauser 98 donor. The rifle features a Timney trigger with a 3-lb pull, a three-position safety, a customized Dave Talley bolt handle, a No. 3 slim contour barrel chambered in .257 Roberts, and a swing-open floorplate. It's equipped with a single-power 4x Weaver K-4 scope and Redfield mounts. The rifle has a nicely figured walnut stock with ebony accents, though the checkering is still an unfinished project. The description emphasizes the growing cost of Mauser 98 donor rifles and the reluctance to modify historical military firearms.
