They have not always been the best finished rifles, but neither were all military Mausers or BRNO's - or AK's - but they are a solid, reliable Mauser action built with good steel. I have had a number of them over the years and have seen plenty more in use by my guides. Everyone has been quite accurate with good barrels

When I bought my 458 Win barreled action it had a few feeding issues as the magazine box and rails were a bit too tight but that was an easy fix. Mine feeds as reliably and slick as any rifle I have ever used.
