Certainly an exceptional level of craftsmanship displayed on those two rifles, almost beyond reproach. I've never been taken much with including cartridge details and magazine capacity on the floorplate although it's nowhere near as grating as the American penchant for engraving the barrel of their firearms with dire warnings and the need to read the owners manual before use which really does smack of 'firearms for dummies'.
You just can't beat the Mauser for providing that magical reliable workhorse look despite all the bells and whistles.
