22 inch barrels for standard cartridges, and 24 inches for the "magnum" cartridges. For some "magnum" cartridges 26 inch is desirable. Surely offering optional extras of 22, 24 and 26 inch barrels isn't that hard.

Mauser appears to be reducing the Mauser 98 and M03 options while pushing the crappier M12 and now a M19 model.

I wonder what is being done with the rest of the L&O Group. What are they again: Mauser; Rigby; Blaser; Sauer; and ?

Rigby is new and moving ahead with its modern new versions of the Mauser 98 in the Big Game model and the High Stalker model.

Haven't looked at the Sauer for a while.

My guess is the L&O group is pushing the Blaser with more options and of course lots of marketing. But haven't had a look there either for a while.
