Re: Where are the Quality 98 Sporters??

I think the answers are really in your question:
Quote:
The 1911 is a pistol design that has been with us almost as long and it is still in commercial production. Yes is is made in varying degrees of quality, but it is avaliable in a dizzying array of quality/prices to fit your budget.
I don't count the CZ/Winchester/Rugers, because while they are mauser like, they never seem to have all the same features. It's not that I don't think the 98 action couldn't be refined a little, it just that everyone seems to be eliminating features to meet a price.
So what's the difference between 1911's and Mauser actions? You can buy a Springfield/Ruger, and get a very servicable arm for a fair market price. Or you can dump some big $ in and get more features at the Ed Brown/Empire Rifles end of the spectrum.
