No way to tell by just looking.
That is definately a beautiful rifle though.

Beautiful rifle....Just be sure you know the caliber before firing it or both it and you might not be so beautiful. Just because the ammo is with the rifle doesn't always mean it's for that rifle. That's just one clue.

Man, had to look at that beauty again.
I LOVE that stock!
Hope you find out what caliber it is and kill some deer with it.

You said that the caliber was not indicated on the case, but are there no markings, numbers, etc. on the head of the case? I don't ever recall there not being something on the head, even on military brass. Also, it looks like the bullets may be FMJ.?

If there is no reference to caliber only other markings on the case, and the bullet is FMJ, which it appears to be in the picture, it is obviously a military caliber, which at least narrows it down somewhat. If you can identify the markings on the case more specifically, with the other clues, we make be able to identify the caliber.

You may have allready done this but on one of my old Mausers you had to take the action out of the stock because the cal. was stamped on the bottom of the barrel.  Have you compared the bullet to an 8x57 ? I'd cast it if I was uncertian. Excellent rifle,someone really knew what they were doing on that one.

The only 98 mausers Ive ever known of were chambered in 7x57 or 8x57 but that cartridge sure looks like a .30-06 Springfield.
I would try to get my hands on a few similar cartridges and try to chamber them but never ever try to fire them. Heres another idea you might wanna try, get a caliper (preferably digital) and measure the inside of the bore so that you can know exactly what caliber it is..that way you can get a better idea of what its chambered for.
