Curious abut this one as I was the carbine. Thanks again to all who share information. This is an 8mm Mauser. Bushnell scope. Curious about provenance, value, and potential collectability. Also curious to know if it is a "keeper?" I do remember it being fairly accurate as a kid killing deer with it.

That's a k98 mauser.
it's been sporterized with the new stock. Hurts the value but still a great gun.

Thats a 98 mauser. Fantastic rifle. Not sure what that one is worth, depends a whole lot on the quality of the work done to it. They can range from nearly worthless to 10's of thousands. That ones looks like a run of the mill sporterized surplus rifle, so probably worth a few hundred bucks.

That’s not a K98. That is a Gewehr 98. That means it was a full length rifle made before or during WW I. It was undoubtedly produced between 1901 and 1918.
They are nice rifles and the actions tend to be a bit more finely finished than a later K98, particularly than the K98s made after 1943. That said, there is no appreciable difference. I would normally say that one like is worth around $300. These days? Who knows?

No collectibility there with it being sporterized
