Why would a Mauser be inherently more difficult to use than a mod. 70 or Remington?
Also, Jack O'Connor seemed to really like Mausers! Heck, in the chapter on action selection in his rifle book, he couldn't praise the '98 enough but gave the model 70 only seven short paragraphs.

Now, having tried to defend the honor of the '98, the Remington 700 is easily the most accurate rifle "out of the box" that I have owned.

I was told that that shape of the action makes it easier to work with by several gun smiths...not sure what is all true or not but do know if you browse a bit, many cutom shops either are or were until they develped their own, were using the remington actions..

As to your statement on the mauser action--agree, think it is an awesome action and if I were going to build a gun for DG, certainly the action type I would go with today

Thanks
