Frankonia Favorit

Notes: This bolt-action rifle dates from 1965, and is based on the Mauser Kar-98. The Favorit has a special trigger which requires only a light touch to fire. The barrel is very strong and light, being made from chrome-vanadium steel. The stock is of walnut, and has a deep pistol grip wrist. Magnum-caliber Favorits (the Favorit Standard Magnum version) has a 25.625-inch barrel, while other caliber Favorits (the Favorit Standard) have a 23.625-inch barrel. The rear sight of the Favorit is a leaf sight adjustable laterally, but the Favorit is really meant to use a telescopic sight, and is drilled and tapped for such. There also deluxe versions of the Favorit; the Luxe has a stock of select walnut, while the Super Deluxe has such a stock and the receiver, locking lever, and stock are hand-engraved. (These two versions are identical to the standard versions for game purposes.)

The Favorit Safari is designed for big game hunting and fires a variety of powerful cartridges though a 25.625-inch barrel; it is also heavier than the standard Favorits. The Safari also has an adjustable trigger and a thick recoil pad on the butt, and the receiver is strengthened. There are three carbine versions of the Favorit; the Favorit Drückjagd has a 20.5-inch barrel, a raised sighting rib with a notched V-shape, and a front sight with a red tip for quick target acquisition. There is an even shorter version of the Drückjagd, with a barrel of only 16.875 inches. The Favorit Stutzen carbine also has a barrel of 20.5 inches, but has a stock which extends to the muzzle, and is slightly heavier than the Drückjagd.

Frankonia M-98

Notes: This rifle is an improved version of the Favorit; however, it is not available in as many versions and chamberings as the Favorit. The standard M-98 is a basic Mauser-action-based rifle, but the M-98 Luxe has a special preset trigger; when the preset is used, the trigger pressure required to fire the M-98 Luxe is reduced from 2.2 pounds to 0.22 pounds. (The Luxe is otherwise identical to the standard versions for game purposes.) A carbine version is also made, called the M-98 Drückjagd ,with a 20.5-inch barrel (as opposed to the 23.625-inch barrel of the standard versions). The Drückjagd has a V-notched rear sight and a red-dot front bead sight, as opposed to the adjustable leaf sight of the standard version. Stocks are made from select walnut.

Twilight 2000 Notes: These rifles do not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.
