I have a chance to buy a Gew 98 style rifle that is chambered in 8.15x46. I looked at it a bit yesterday but didn't know much about it. It does look interesting now that I have looked online a bit about it. I don't remember seeing a makers mark on it. It did have 8.15 . 46 Norm on the receiver ring. It also had the word nitro on the chamber area of the barrel. It didn't appear to be refinished, no signs of the manufacturer being scrubbed from the receiver ring. The blueing was beautiful, almost like a fire blue. The bore was excellent. What do you Mauser experts think would be a fair offer? Any other insight you could share? The 8.15x46R looks like it would be a good cast boolit cartridge.
