Re: Magnum Mauser action made in Norway

Very nice CZ!
I feel the same way about the pricing of these newer magnum length actions.
What about the actual magnum 98 Mausers now available?
Why not buy a real Mauser from Mauser themselves? Double square bridge, solid left wall, classic styling - super nice looking but I haven't seen one in the flesh. The only thing about those which I don't care for is the rosewood forend - I like ebony or horn better.
Mitchell's mausers even carries them.

So, the magnum Mauser "dangerous game" rifle sold by Mitchell's is actually a modern DSB action made by Mauser itself? I assumed it was a good aftermarket action they had made into a nice looking rifle.
If you can get a real Mauser made DSB magnum length action rifle, with really good styling and a list of custom features for around $9K, then why does anyone go anywhere else? I have never understood the high prices charged by Johanssen, with which rifles I've been unimpressed (think along the lines of nice Ruger). Even used, they're still 5 figures.
The photo on the website may not be representative (and I notice suspiciously that you can't blow it up to get any detail at all) but it looks like they've done a top notch job on the architecture.
