Where is the 1903 Springfield on that poll?
That's the king of mil-sup bolt guns.

And it has been proven in combat for over 100 years. A feat only approached by the Great Enfield. Which is not as adaptable.

Can a milsurp Mauser use commercial grade .30-06? I know the Garand has issues with pressure when firing commercial grade loads, but I am not aware that any bolt guns have this problem.

And of course go right up to the 1950s where FN company was making 30-06 (and 308) Mausers for some South American and African countries.
Cost. The CMP is also out of them until sometime in 2011.Why isn't the 1903-A3 on your list? That's my #1 pick of the mil-surp litter!
Which is why I like the 03A3 so much.Among other characteristics, the Enfield #4's aperture sight gives it an advantage.

It's a Mauser design, too.To nitpick, where's the Arisaka?
You listed the Mosin in various forms, but it is still a Mosin.
Actually, I totally forgot that one. I know there are so many other fantastic milsurp bolt guns out there, but these few on the poll were the only ones that I've very seriously considered buying in the short-term.To nitpick, where's the Arisaka?
