Re: Stutzen Mauser rifles - Newly made

Personal opinions: the forestock of the first rifle is too thick around the action and that and the straight line appearance do not match the classic curvatures of the butt and wrist. Butterknife bolt handles are not practical IMO. The second rifle corrects both of these very well.

Such a substantial looking butt would benefit from a large trap in the buttplate, and again, IMO that buttplate is too 'fat' looking for such an elegant and "English" butt. But this could be just the photos.

Mismatching numbers on old actions being reused should perhaps be removed?

I would rather have matching swivels personally, nor do I like modern "black" scopes on classic or classic-styled rifles. A vintage Zeilvier or similar is so close in optical quality to most modern scopes that I question the need for anything else.

Again, just my personal comments since the question was asked! ;-)

The materials and workmanship speak for themselves.
