Left Hand Custom Mauser 3000 375 H&H

[Mauser3000]

I am selling one of my left hand Mauser model 3000 rifles. This rifle is only listed here.

Details: This rifle was built my a small gun maker name Bill Gostomski in Mount Savage MD. The action is a left hand Mauser model 3000 with a shilen #4 contour match grade barrel finished at 25 inches. The sights and barrel band are from New England custom guns. The stock was made from a XXX blank of English walnut that I hand selected. The checkering pattern is a point pattern with a border. The stock was finished with 33 Coates of oil to fill all the pores. The rear sling swivel stud and grip cap are Dakota and a pachmayr old English pad was installed. This rifle is very accurate and weighs in at 10.5 lbs scoped and is a pleasure to shoot. The rifle has approximately 90 rounds through it. Included with the rifle will be Talley rings and bases, and a set of EAW scope mounts with 1 inch rings. I am asking 3700.00 for the rifle shipped to lower 48.

I forgot to include the stock has steel cross bolts with ebony plugs over them and an ebony forend tip. The stock is also full length bedded.

I really hope there's a Lefty (aside from myself) that needs this..

What a bargain. The stock would cost $2500

 

[WAB]

Wasn’t @sgt_zim looking for one?

Including the stock blank, I paid more for the stock work that I’m asking for the rifle.

Kinda sorta.

I do have the LH 404J, though it is nowhere near as nice as this 375.

 

[Mauser3000]

Everybody needs both.

I also have a LH 9.3x62, also not nearly as nice as your 375. Headed to Limpopo in August, so I'm a bit tapped out on buying guns

I can understand that. It’s hard to go wrong with a 9.3x62

Beautiful rifle. GLWS

Thinking the same myself! My bank account is currently sweating knowing I'm looking at this and my wife is standing behind me with knife in hand..........

Unless you have more than one of these (custom, this nice), you might need to change your screen name- be a constant reminder of beauty lost- you may have regrets later.....
I know your first line says you are selling one of your Mauser 3000's but how do the others compare?

 

[Mauser3000]

I have a few of them. Here’s a photo of the 375’s sister rifle in 30-06. They are beautiful rifles, I only listed the 375 for sale to fund other projects. So far I have been lucky that I’ve only regretted the sale of one firearm and a friend of mine has it.

 

[Altitude sickness]

Wow!! Those are stunning. And your price is a steal

I hope I don’t get too much hate for this, but sitting here in my office with this rifle, I realized I can’t let it go. I am just going to hang onto it so I don’t regret this.

I doubt you will get any hate here, at all. We regularly try to talk others out of selling rifles as beautiful as this, as there is inevitably going to be serious regrets once it's gone and usually not much chance of getting it back. I think you made the right choice and simply gave us a chance to appreciate your rifle. I for one am glad you did as it saved me much debating back and forth on the feasibility of sleeping in the doghouse while clutching this rifle in my arms!

Thank you for hanging on to it. This was the only time in my life I considered switching to lefty.

I appreciate it, I’ve never sold one of my customs before and the building process is such a personal thing that it would be hard to replace. If memory serves, replacement cost of this rifle would be 6,400.
