8x57 IS K98k Bolt-Action Rifle
Legendary K98k with the bolt-action mechanism, the perfection of design, strength and safety. This rifle is extremely accurate and deadly at long range. Equipped with the 4x42mm Classic Rifle Scope, it turns into an extremely reliable hunting weapon.

excellent, but the sound is lacking and for some people the low magnification scope might be a turn off. i like the iron sights!

In terms of pure performance of a gun, the 8x57 IS Anschütz is probably the better buy, mainly due to the wide variety of available scopes.

However, this gun's model is a pure beauty! The incarnation of a classic gun well transformed into virtual reality. For me the only case where the optics can compensate for some slight disadvantages in performance.

I really like both of these, with the K98K pulling ahead.

They couldn't have done a better job on reviving this rifle which many of us might have shot in another computer game, or have seen in our pa's or grandpa's closet. I really enjoyed using it for a while, and I have the best statistics with it compared to all other weapons that I have shot at least 250 times.

Rated poor.

Sound is really bad and muffled.

The sight is not thought out at all. Big and bulky and not very practical as a hunting rifle. The magnification is a bit to low for the tower hunting too.

Definitely an acquired taste. History buffs and gun collectors will love it, those looking for the "best" single rifle to get will be disappointed. Voted Good.
