I took delivery of this Mauser M98 Diplomat in 416 Rigby last week. It took about 15 months from order to delivery here in Australia, which is not too bad I guess. It will be a while before I can take it out for a shot, but looking forward to it when I can.

Ordering was very simple through the local Mauser importer here in Australia. After calibre choice was confirmed, the Mauser factory supplied a selection of stock timber to choose from, and that was it. All very easy!

Wow thats a great rifle, been looking at these as compared to a Rigby. What do you think of it now you have it in hand?
 
Congratulation, beautiful rifle and amazing wood! I’m a bit jealous! Will you mount optics and if so what kind? Enjoy!

Leopard tag available for 2025 Kalahari Safari Namibia. Contact us for this special hunt.
At Kalahari Safari, the Small Things Are the Big Things
The thrill of the stalk. The stillness of the wait. The age-old rhythm of the hunt.
It’s not just about the size of the trophy. It’s about the stories that will be told for years.
We believe the memories are the true prize. The small things are the big things.
And we’re proud to offer a hunting experience that honours exactly that.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
