Built on the robust Mauser 98 platform by Zbrojovka Brno in Czechoslovakia, this rifle is chambered in 8mm Mauser and features a receiver sidewall marked "Mod. 98." It uses an internal box magazine with a floorplate release and has a turned-down bolt handle with a round knob for smooth cycling.
The sporter configuration includes a 23.6 inch tapered barrel and a walnut stock with a cheekpiece, grip cap, line spacers, a ventilated recoil pad, and sling loops. Length of pull measures 14.5 inches, aligning with its European-style appointments and sporting layout.
The receiver ring is drilled and tapped with two empty threaded holes, while the rear bridge retains its charger-clip guide. No iron sights are installed. A Weaver Sportsman 3-9x32 scope is included but not mounted, adding practical field utility once installed.
Proofs and markings include Czech lion proof stamps, an "A 57" stamping, and a small "P" beneath the serial on the receiver ring. Non-matching component numbers are noted.
