Agree with most posters, the M98 is a superlative action, but most people will not pay what these things are worth today.
I think we should all remember that not many modern Mausers are being made, and the custom built actions will set you back a minimum of $3K.

Also, most of the ones we own and shoot are getting on in age, and it is important to remember that steel technology from 1920 till the early 50's wasn't a pinch on what we have today. Sure, those lovely original Mausers are beautiful to work and have that indescribable feel that modern actions can only dream about, the limitations are also real. The actions are a compromise and we need to be careful what we chamber them for and the pressures we load to.

I believe a steady diet of "hot" modern loads will end most Mausers in due course, but original cartridges loaded properly for hunting, but probably below that for practice will keep the old girls going for another generation of hunters
