MAUSER 98 Magnum Dagga Boys
The master craftsmen at the MAUSER Meisterwerkstatt are presenting an extraordinary one-off piece from the legendary MAUSER 98 Magnum series. The new rifle bears the name “Dagga Boys”. It is a tribute to those old Cape buffalo that have asserted themselves throughout their lives through combat experience and strong character. Engraver Sebastian Weiß has captured them on the magazine floorplate with impressive precision and full-coverage flat engraving.
The masterful depiction shows all the characteristic features of these iconic solitary animals: frayed ears, the massive, deeply furrowed boss, as well as the worn horn tips marked by life. An engraving that makes the heart of every buffalo hunter beat faster.
The pistol grip cap is adorned with a fine depiction of the African continent, which brings Africa’s mountain ranges to life through shading and is framed with an inlaid gold wire.
This framing forms a stylistically confident transition to a striking camelthorn wood ornamentation that decorates the filling of the cap. Subtle yet very characterful English ornamentation as well as fine camelthorn wood pieces continue on further parts and details of the firearm, such as the bolt handle, bolt shroud, receiver bridge, barrel root, and sight bases.
The 62 cm barrel in caliber .416 Rigby as well as the rear sight base are blued and hand-polished. Fine gold inlays and English ornamentation on the barrel root and safety form elegant accents.
Extractor, extractor ring, bolt stop, and firing pin are blued and, together with the gold-colored trigger and the jewelling finish on the bolt, create a harmonious appearance with a truly colonial character. The MAUSER 98 Magnum “Dagga Boys” is completed by its high-contrast root-grain stock of woodgrade 10, finished with a red butt plate. The new MAUSER 98 Magnum “Dagga Boys” – powerful, classic, and uncompromisingly MAUSER!
