King of milsurp bolt guns?

What specific Mauser are you looking at? There are some real dogs around, and some very nice ones. If you give info about the make and model choices you're looking at it would be helpful. I'd take a CZ Persian long rifle over a Russian capture K-98k, for example. In generally I'd say get a Czech made one. They're still reasonably priced and are very well made.



There are many different types of Mosin-Nagants--far more than this list would show. The best aren't even on this list. The Finnish M39's and late model M91's and M30's are about the same price as the Swiss K31, and ammo is much much cheaper.

The specific Mausers I was looking at were the Czech vz 24's and 24/47's.

Mauser. Nothing else on your list is still produced as a commercial rifle.

I'm not saying you can't hunt deer with a Moisin or an Enfield, people do. But the Mauser action is THE bolt action. 8mm still isn't terribly expensive for plinking and with soft points will kill anything a .30-06 will.

Then again maybe I'm biased because I have one.

Well, not exactly.

K31, it is nice to hit what you are aiming at.
