Looks like a $309 waste to me if you want a WWII era rifle. Tons have real steel rifles have been "sporterized" in the past to make them more suited to the hunting market, or too "sporterize" a rifle that may have a stock damage ect. This gun looks like it's based off of that, not anything that was seen in the hands of a german during WWII.

Yeah...not too excited to see that. It really doesnt seem that it would cater to either the WW2 player or even to a modern player looking for a sniper platform. I dont know, maybe there's a new airsoft variant were players dress up as hunters and others dress up as deer...

the CEO must have been drunk to have been convinced to manufacture such a thing. Nobody is going to want that, at least over a different ACTUAL WWII-era gun. Also, the real one is a ton cheaper.

Oh come on.. Knee-height socks, Kniebundhose, decorative suspenders, white shirt and a stupid-looking felt hat with a feather.. Oh and good beer belly, perhaps a beer to go with. Your average German aristocratic hunter from the whole last century Don't go at Marushin, I think they know what they are doing. No sporter versions of their previous Mausers hang around the stores anymore. Apparently there is a market for this, it definitely looks more sniper than your standard 98k. If you start wondering what goes in their CEOs head, I might raise the question why did he ever approve the production of the gas 98K, or Winchester for that matter - both being technically terrible POSs that break even at target shooting.
