I have a 96 mauser with a strait bolt. I think it is one of the most well made mausers. It is a sweedish model in 6.5 x 55. It is very smooth and very accurate. It is in military configuration and wouldn't change it for anything. An all matching numbers rifle in nice shape is fairly expensive for a old military riffle but they were very well made and well taken care of. you can find an unmatching numbers rifle with a few dings here an there for half the price as a nice collector rifle. Alot of people make these into sporters years ago and some people still do. Hope thiswas of some help.
