Very nice rifle! I have old eyes too and I think I would put an Aimpoint 9000L on it and mount it forward enough to not obstruct the safety or bolt handle. Or one of the micro sights on just the front mount which surely would have no impact on the safety or bolt handle.

Help with antique rifle, possibly a Mauser?

You have a Suhl made Mauser which has been drilled for scope so it really has no collectors value. I would estimate R12500 -15000 . Classic Arms in Witbank should have a replacement m98 stock for this rifle. It does have an interesting Mannlicher style butter knife bolt handle though...
The butter knife bolt handle enables ooperation with a mounted scope.
Thanks for the tip, I will contact them.
The aim point is an interesting idea as I will be using this gun in thick bush anyway.

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe

Hi Walden. Good morning from England, Chris here (The Englishman!) from Croatia. Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and Michelle - a fellow Sanderson! I have finally joined AH as I enjoy it very much. Glad you enjoyed the hunt and your write up which I read on AR was very good indeed. I am sending on WhatsApp pics from Bojan of some of the animals hunted recently. Take care and best regards. CS.
