Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
During the interwar period of the 1920s and 1930s, Mauser-Werke in Oberndorf am Neckar produced what many collectors consider the finest .22 caliber target rifles ever made. Built on a scaled-down 98 Mauser action, the ES340 Einzellader Sportmodelle (Single Shot Sport Model) was designed for extreme precision without the mechanical complexity or feeding interruptions of a magazine. Featuring a heavy 25.5-inch target barrel, tangent rear sight calibrated from 30 to 200 meters, flag safety, and hand-fitted German craftsmanship, pre-WWII Oberndorf Mauser single-shot rifles earned international renown for benchrest and match-grade accuracy.
This exact rifle, serial number 27511, was manufactured at the historic Oberndorf factory in the late 1920s or early 1930s. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it exhibits full matching assembly numbers ("511" / "27511") across the receiver, barrel, bolt assembly, extractor, and trigger guard plate. It features a spectacular, highly figured flame-grained European walnut stock with a traditional Schnabel forend, original Crown/B, Crown/U, and Crown/G commercial proofs, tangent target sights, and a solid trigger guard plate. Presenting in breathtaking original collector condition with deep original rust bluing, extraordinary wood figure, a mirror-bright bore, and glass-smooth bolt operation, this pre-WWII Mauser ES340 Single-Shot Target Rifle is a premier investment-grade addition for German firearms purists, rimfire target collectors, or C&R connoisseurs.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
