Any Mauser Experts?

[Berettaco]

Good evening all,
I recently acquired a nice little Factory Mauser 98 .270 and was wondering if anyone here might have some info about the newer mausers? I looked on their website and don’t see anything that matches up. Any ideas of what model this might be? Year of production etc?
attached a few pictures - any info greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

That’s interesting. A thumb/gas cut and new bottom metal? Have you had the bases or stock off?

looks like a custom rifle someone made with modem mauser bottom metal, which would not surprise me as aftermarket bottom metal it getting more difficult to find.

Serial numbers match?

@baxterb - I looked at the serial numbers and they all match - bolt included. The fit and finish on the action, sights, bolt etc.. look much nicer than any of the other custom mausers I have- plus the floor plate markings so I assumed it was a factory job.
I hadn’t taken the stock off (should have done that first thing) but I just did and found the answer to my question. It’s stamped F. Haugh 87. Quick google search and found info on this custom maker.
Now I’ll try to find all I can about this gentleman.
Thanks!

Haugh? There was an exceptional builder, Jack Haugh. That might be his son?

I’m not certain - I sent an email to Haugh Gunsmiths and hopefully can get more info.

Just doing a search and this gun was sold via Guns International at one time. It is indeed Jack's son Frank. Interestingly enough, in the ad pics there was not a Mauser logo on the floor plate.

Go to Guns international and search Frank Haugh Custom Mauser. Might call the old seller.

Really nice rifle you have!

That’s great info - thank you much! I will still googling and didn’t find that yet. That is interesting about the floor plate, guess someone thought it would look better. I think I might bug the old seller to see if he has any info.
I appreciate all the help!!

Does it have the stag horn proof? This logo on mag is modern era.

I don’t see a stag horn proof
