Too many inexperienced hunters are just fine with PFs, as they have no appreciation of the history or benefits of a Mauser/CRF action.

That, and 99.9% of them hunt nothing larger than deer (at least in the U.S.), and even then much of that is done with a 12ga slug-gun or some flavor of lever-action.

Mauser-pattern/CRF rifles I have are a BRNO 602 ZKK, a CZ 550, and my grandfather's 'pre-war' Winchester Model 70.




I am THAT GUY...

Personally think the CRF action is way over rated and over stated.. I know, I know, blasphemy..especially on this site.. oh well..

Seriously, I have been on 6 hunts in Africa..used a PF Rem custom shop in .416 for all the hunts with the exception of one, I used a Sako model 75 in 375H&H... no issues..hunted cape buffalo, elephant, lion, croc, hippo, leopard and dozens of plains game..no issues..

Having said that, I have an acquaintance who is a very well known international hunter. His wife was almost killed by a cape buffalo using a CRF Winchester years ago while hunting in Zim..

My point is, they both work.. I have both..but like the Rem..I have a fairly expensive CRF custom in my gun safe..yet, if I was too leave tomorrow morning for a buff hunt I would still take the Rem..

I do like the CZ's... and would have no problem using one to build a nice custom --or a nice crf Winchester action.. personally I don't care of the mauser actions..never have..but, that's just me.. each to their own..if you like them, fine..use them..
