EMPIRE EAST AFRICA RIFLE™

Empire's Magnum Mauser Hunting Rifle

 

The EMPIRE EAST AFRICA RIFLE has at its heart the hand-crafted 98M Magnum Mauser action.  This Brevex-styled action is a purist’s Mauser.  Best suited to the largest Magnum cartridges, the 98M accommodates cartridges up to the .505 Gibbs, and delivers excellent accuracy.  The British term “magazine rifle” is synonymous with Magnum Mauser rifles, and an EMPIRE EAST AFRICA in EXPRESS GRADE is ideal for hunting the world's toughest game.  A fast handling, stunningly accurate dangerous game rifle, available in Right and Left Hand.

 

Note: The 98M action is hand-crafted to customer order by an outside vendor.  Due to the time required to obtain these actions, the delivery date on the East Africa Rifle is dependent on delivery by the vendor to Empire of the 98M action. Delivery dates are calculated from that date.
