The rifles were made by Voere in Vohrenbach, Germany prior to 1986, when the company sold the arms line to Mauserwerk. Mauser originally marketed the rifle as a Mauser 225 for one year, later changing it to a Mauser 99. They were factory guaranteed to put 5 shots into a 5 mark coin at 100m. Kleinguenther imported the barrels and actions into the U.S. from Voere to build his custom rifles. I had read that the barrels were made of stellite rather than steel, resulting in their superior accuracy. They were imported into Canada by Ruko. If you can get your hands on one, grab it - you will be more than pleasantly surprised with quality of manufacture of the rifle and its accuracy!! Smoothest operating & tightest fitting action that I have seen in a bolt action rifle.
