I have no dog in this fight-so to speak. Old Mauser actions range from great to shithouse. Those produced in the latter stage of WW2 are not as strong as earlier models due to short cuts or lack of matterials and heat treating is susspect on some.

I would not want my 416 Rigby, 8X68, 350Rigby or 375H&H built on a standard action. Not saying you can't but if you do, you can't seat the bullets out to get best performance. This especially applies with mono metal projectiles.

To me the mauser actions built for war are a better action then any of the newer custom made jobs. reason is they do not jam up as easy in dusty conditions and are easier to clean when put through dust storms etc.

Chinese made stuff, yes they build to a price but I still avoid things made in China if I can.
