Adjam5 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I picked up a few months ago a English made rifle in .243 It is fairly good shape and it shoots good too. It was imported by Mandall arms in AZ, they are since out of biz. The gun is called a Alpine Sporter, from my exp, I think most rifles that are called sporters were old military rifles sporterized for commercial use. I am thinking Mauser action here... Any help with the action type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_218 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Re: Mauser Action? Your mauser action is a model 98. I had a Parker-Hale Model 1000 rifle that looked almost like the one you pictured, it also in .243. Very good rifle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Re: Mauser Action? Yep, looks like the run of the mill commercial Mauser 98. The good side to that is they are outstanding actions and the Rem 700, Win 70, Ruger 77, and others were modeled after it. The drawback can be since there were many different makers of the comercial 98, the dimentions can be off if you are looking for a new stock or some replacement part. Then again, it may be spot on.

Adjam5 Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Re: Mauser Action? Thanks guys for the ID. I thought it was a mauser action. It shoots good and has a nice balance to it. My son Joe has his eyes on this as his deer rifle. We'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
