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.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
