I have heard great things about them...but have never handled one. Mine is a Browning A-Bold Medallion. It's a tack driver...out-shoots me!

RR,what do you think about a 6mm ina mauser action?i been wanting to build a nice mauser for a long time now,

stapher1 06-19-2012 03:01 AM

Mausers are great actions, but (depending on what your gunsmith charges), by the time he's done modernizing a mauser you could have the cost of a new or used modern action.
I.E...Drill & tap, replace the bolt handle, new trigger, machine off the stripper clip for scope mounts, convert the old safety, machine the trigger guard...etc. You may not do all of those things. If you really want a rifle off a mauser, i'd talk to your 'smith and see what he likes to do to them.

RR, Where did you get that stock? That's really nice!

Okay, i've been to his website a few times. He does make some beautiful stocks for rifles. Not to be too nosy but what did the stock cost?
