MAUSER 98 Magnum "Big Five"
When it comes to dangerous game, there is undoubtedly no more reliable rifle than the Mauser 98 Magnum with its legendary and indestructible action, which is milled from a single piece. Based on this legend, the gunsmiths at the MAUSER Meisterwerkstatt have now created another unique piece that is unrivalled.
Safari classic refined to perfection!
This masterpiece takes its name not only from the magnum action in .416 Rigby calibre, but primarily from the engraved magazine base, which features a deeply engraved, full-size portrait showing the Big Five - namely elephant, cape buffalo, leopard, rhinoceros and lion - which are deep-engraved and then shaded in Bulino technique. Anatomically perfect and with expressive facial expressions, engraver Silke Ulrich staged the animal pieces. The pistol grip cap is adorned with an image of the African continent, which is filled with a picture of the African savannah created from platinum and gold. Discreet but characterful English ornamentation frames the entire pistol grip cap. This impressive filling is continued on other parts and details of the rifle, such as the bolt handle, the lock, the double square mount bases, the barrel base and the sight bases.
The 62 cm barrel and the sight bases are also blued and hand-polished. Fine gold inlays on the barrel base and gold-coloured ‘F’ and ‘S’ markings on the safety add further accents to this masterpiece. The safety catch, trigger, extractor and extractor ring as well as the lock retainer and firing pin are blued, giving the MAUSER 98 MAGNUM Big Five a truly royal look and bearing witness to the attention to detail that the gunmakers at the MAUSER Meisterwerkstatt have put into this extraordinary rifle. The love of detail is rounded off by the sublimely engraved lettering ‘THE BIG FIVE’ on the firing pin nut, which wraps around the blued firing pin like a wreath making it look like a set gemstone to the shooter. This MAUSER masterpiece is set in a high-contrast grade 10 root wood stock with a red butt plate.
MAUSER 12 DWM
Three-position safety, steel receiver, solid locking lugs and top-load function are features that quite rightly make the MAUSER 12 a modern interpretation of the legendary MAUSER 98. To emphasise this, the MAUSER Meisterwerkstatt (Custom shop) is presenting a MAUSER 12 DWM edition for the first time at the Jagd & Hund trade fair in Dortmund.
Modern interpretation of a classic.
As a tribute to the original MAUSER DWM 98, the receiver of this DWM MAUSER 12 and all attached parts such as the sling swivel barrel ring, sight base and trigger guard as well as the chamber and bolt handle are brightly plasma-nitrided and hand-polished. A special accent: the jewelling on the smooth-running chamber. The receiver and magazine floorplate naturally bear the DWM logo. An M17x1 muzzle thread is concealed under the front sight. To equip the rifle with a silencer, the front sight simply needs to be repositioned by loosening two screws. The extravagant appearance of the MAUSER 12 DWM is emphasised by a selected grade 6 walnut stock.
125 years MAUSER 98 Anniversary model
The MAUSER 98 action is regarded as the forefather of all modern bolt action rifles. Built in the millions, copied in the thousands, never matched. We have had the original for 125 years. A fact we want to celebrate!
Built for eternity.
It evokes nostalgia for the old days and yet it is a milestone of modern firearms technology: the anniversary edition of the MAUSER 98, limited to 25 pieces. The style of classic safari rifles from times past inspired our master gunsmiths to create an exclusive anniversary edition of the original MAUSER 98. The action, bolt handle ball, trigger guard, pistol grip cap and magazine base are colour case hardened and, together with gold damascening, English ornaments and an exquisite wood grade 8 stock with a red recoil pad, give these masterpieces a truly unique look. Each of the anniversary 98s is one of a kind.
