Re: Stutzen Mauser rifles - Newly made

Xausa, thank you very much for your kind words.
Like you I have a preference for the .243 Kurz Stutzen that is fitted with a light and compact 3-9x36 AV Swarovski scope on claw mounts.
Regarding the caliber, the .243 Winchester is a good choice here for roe-deer and chamois and it benefits on the Continent from a wider choice of factory loads, that rifle having been optimized for the RWS 96 grains KS cartridge https://rws-munition.de/en/rws-hunting-a...s.html#!0/43/33
The .260 RM is a nice round but I prefer the 6,5 Creedmoor that I use a lot and we have in the making a stalking rifle in that chambering, built also on an Original Mauser Kurz action.
Now, about the two positions safety, it's a matter of style and being more on the "Classic" side, I must confess that I prefer the look of the Mauser shroud to the more modern shape of the aftermarket three positions side swing safeties, with perhaps the exception of those produced by Ed Lapour.
To conclude, regarding the 30-06 rifle, one must understand that we must respect the choices and requirements of our customers, although we do not always agree with their options.
However it remains a beautiful and very accurate rifle, extremely pleasant to use.
If I had to build it for myself it would certainly not have been the same.

Best.
