Modern mausers
Which modern bolt actions (e.g. Ruger, CZ, Savage, etc) use the mauser action?
Which modern bolt actions (e.g. Ruger, CZ, Savage, etc) use the mauser action?
ence the inherent advantage of the mauser action.the mosin was not made to be scoped.
your using feature that is not relevant to the rifles purpose.
The mause accomplishes the same task, only much better.the safety is one of the most silent safetys iv ever used. and since it literaly locks the firing pin at 2 points it is the most positive safety i know of
If the only cartridge that you want to shoot through a Mosin Nagant happens to be the 7.62x54r or necked up or necked down versions of it, the magazine works well, in fact much more reliably than an enfield magazine. Id you want a rifle in 270 or 243 or 220 swift etc... the mosin action just doesn't work. There are hundreds of cartridges that will work in a mauser 98, only a small handful in the mosin nagant.the single stack magazine is due to the rimmed cartridge obv. but how is it a problem? rimlock is easily avoided with a good spring and any basic knowledge on how to load. like all things firearms, proper employment requires practice
Which modern bolt actions (e.g. Ruger, CZ, Savage, etc) use the mauser action?
as a sport rifle, the mauser is more suited
as a war rifle i feel the mosin holds the edge
The Mosin has several disadvantages as a war rifle;as a war rifle i feel the Mosin holds the edge
The Mosin has several disadvantages as a war rifle;
-stripper clips must be loaded in a specific way.
-the bolt is IMO harder/slower to work.
-the sights are inferior
-the ergonomics of the stock are inferior
-the trigger has a heavier pull
Bezoar said-
and something else not mentioned here, the level of manufacturing is in credible. IVe read the cnc controlled hot wire cutters used by some companies to make bolt action recievers, can even give the same tolerance, quality, or finish as what is found on typical masuer bolt actions.
its directly linked with fancy cars versus plain ones. Sure the new imports from south east asia will get you where you want, but my cutlas seirra made in 1995 in oklahoma, is luxury. and the engine, ever feel the difference between a REAL american 3100 v6 engine when it hits 50 mph versus the engine on a rice burner?
Great Britain and Russia were the only major powers who used rifle designs that did not have Mauser as their basis during the heyday of the bolt action rifle.
Left out that France, Italy and the Austrian-Hungarian empire did not use the Mauser rifles.
Anybody have any suggestions as to where I can get some reasonable priced actions?

The man said major powers -- not wannabes.Left out that France, Italy and the Austrian-Hungarian empire did not use the Mauser rifles.
The Austrian-Hungarian empire used their M95 rifles through WWI, in the 1920s Austria switched to the Mauser rifle, but many M95 remained in service in reserve units though WWII.Austria adopted a Mauser 98 in 7X57mm in 1912, and of course during WWII they used K98k's.
