I've been browsing Rock Island Auction and GunBroker often for K98 finds and I came across this. A bundle with a CE/43 K98 and a Czech BRNO VZ 24. Both are configured as "snipers". I know neither of these rifles are legitimate snipers and are reproductions by the previous owners.

I've always wanted a K98 sniper (reproduction of course cause the original is far too expensive), but I do not know anything about how historically "accurate" its configuration is. Would this bundle be worth the asking price at all? And how accurate is this reproduction?

They still look AWESOME!!!

 

[Black Rose]

They sure do! I know I'm never gonna be able to own a legitimate K98 sniper anyways; this thing is close enough

Unfortunately I didn't win the auction

The long rail is probably good enough for a quick movie shot but the bottom one is "mein auge!"

 

[paxton62]

yeah, the bottom one looks well used.
