Nick Harvey used to promote as a paid tout (IMO) the Mauser 66.
I wanted one as a result. Same as Ahmed's, in 6.5x68 and 8x68S. Ended up with my Mauser M03 in 8x68S and 6.5x65 (that difference ie 65mm, still irks me!).
But they are a very heavy rifle, un-necessarily so. I believe most end up weighing at least 4.5 kgs all up or more.
Haven't ever played with one. I wonder how irritating the two stage bolt movement would be.
However those straight engraved walls on the bolt carriage, still do have a certain appeal. Certainly a distinctive look.
I've forgotten, do they have an internal magazine? What capacity? I seem to remember they did not have room for many rounds?
