"The Kesslerin" from the workshop of the gunsmith
and master craftsman Waffen Kessler

 

Are you looking for a rifle which will last for a lifetime? And you prefer the Mauser 98-type action and have no interest in constantly chasing the trends?

The "Kesslerin" not only has a slim profile and looks elegant but it is extremely accurate and fully equipped. Weighing in at a super light weight of 2.8 to 3 kg, it is the ideal hunting companion.

The bolt-action rifle is based on a standard Mauser 98-type action (matching specifications with the Model 1908). As the original 98 system was too heavy and the trigger system does not allow for slender stocks, it is hardly ever used for lighter rifles which are easier to handle. Roland Kessler has redesigned the tried and true 98-type action with considerably reduced measurements but which is otherwise true to the original. The millionfold tried and true system is dirt resistant and guarantees absolute safety. The rifles are manufactured in Germany.

 

The "Kesslerin" is available in the following models: "Original", "Classic", "Classic New", "Stutzen" (short rifles) und "short barrel rifle". In addition, the "Kesslerin Classic New" rifle is available in a left-handed version.

 

A short history of the Kesslerin

As a passionate hunter, alpine hunting has always fascinated me. For me, when hunting in the Alps or in the Carpathian Mountains, a standard bolt-action rifle was simply too heavy for the long and strenuous stalking of the game, whereas a light, single-shot rifle was unsuitable for hunting chamois, elk and wild boar. I envisioned a reliable, multi-shot and nonetheless light rifle which could best be realized by implementing the 98-type action. The result is the "Kesslerin" and its conceptual design, which combines precision with ease of handling, is valued and acknowledged by many experienced hunters.
