Those gunners interested fine sporting rifles know Paul Jaeger Custom rifles.  Paul Jaeger was an American born, German trained gunsmith that opened a shop in Jenkintown, PA just after WWII and built custom guns there until his retirement in 1977.  Jaeger was known for building accurate rifles with fine finishes and custom touches in classic American style.  Jaeger was also an inventor, and one of his most notable creations was his side-mounted, detachable scope mount that allows easy removal of the scope and mount for travel or cleaning of the rifle and always being dead on when re-mounted.  This fine rifle, sn3882, is one of Jaeger’s high-grade custom rifles, built on a standard size, large ring, commercial Mauser 98 action in the revered 7 x 57 Mauser caliber.  This is a rifle that has a nicely figured English walnut stock with well-defined honey and black streaks and perfect layout to make for a strong foundation for an accurate rifle.  The stock is gorgeous with a raised cheek piece and shadow line, rosewood tip, and nicely executed multi-point checkering that shows no wear from use.  The full pistol grip terminates with a finely engraved steel grip cap with gold wire inlaid border.  The famous Mauser 98 action has cock on opening, controlled round feed bolt that is finely jeweled, and the bolt handle is nicely checkered for positive purchase.  The floor plate and trigger uard are fully engraved with open scroll and foliate engraving, gold wire inlays, and centered on the floor plate is a vignette showing a large, raised gold inlay of a Jaguar (or Leopard?), all done by a master engraver’s hand to perfection.  The trigger guard has heavy raised goaled letters “JCC” and gold wire borders (we can change the initials  for a reasonable fee and with little wait).  Even the screws are engraved to match.  The 22” barrel has a featherweight contour and the rifle weighs that perfect 7lbs. without the scope mount.  The rifling is sharp as new and the bore is flat out mint with no signs of use.  This rifle is in original condition and all the metal shows 100%, with only a few light handling marks on the wood.  The Lyman 57 FN receiver sight is mounted to be useable under the mounted scope.  The Jaeger detachable mount removes without tools in seconds with zero change to point of impact.  The detachable floor plate is manipulated without tools to dump the ammo, a very safe way to empty the rifle of ammunition when required.  This is a very affordable custom rifle created by a world-renowned rifle maker in a most desirable caliber built on the venerable Mauser 98 action…and it is gorgeous!  It just doesn’t get any better.  The cost to build a rifle like this in today’s gun world would easily be twice our price and take over a year to get into your hands.  Don’t let this one get away, and thanks for looking!
