Hi Barry; It's OK if you have the bug and itch for a Mauser, unfortunately it can become more of an addiction which only more Mausers can cure. I too have a 700, Weatherby, Lee Enfield and so on (like them all) but my Achilles heel is the 98 Mauser (have quite a few) and its variance. It seems your want the military type by your description of the safety. Your Brno & CZ should be variance of the Mauser. Find yourself a good military rifle or look for a good action e.g. VZ24, Oberndorf, there are quite a few that would make a decent custom, some are more preferable and therefore harder to find and more costly to obtain. --- John S.
