Hey Fellas:
I've inherited a bolt-action. 257 Roberts re-chambered hunting rifle that was my dad's. Short of removing the scope and stock (which I'll do if I need to), the only text I can see anywhere is "MAX 98" on the receiver in a pretty elaborate font style. From what I have found, that designation seems to refer to a Mauser. For those who might have one of these, am I correct in my thinking? Is there anything I should look for to help me further identify the actual model ?
Thanks much
