In this video we look at Military Mauser 98 (Gewehr 98, Kar98AZ / Kar98a, Kar98k) accuracy based on figures from German the 1909 and pre-WW2 Schiessvorschrift. We also look at the WW2 era K98k acceptance standard, including the 300m test for the Japanese 98k contract, and a 1901 Hythe test of two Gew98's.
