I've read that Mauser (and Mauser-clone) bolt actions are smooth as butter. This has put a few questions in my mind which I'd like to put before those in the know:
1) Is the Mauser-type bolt action the best, or is it overhyped?
2) How can you tell if the bolt action rifle in front of you has a Mauser-type action (assuming the rifle is not made by Mauser...)?
3) Would you pay $100 more for a rifle with a Mauser-type bolt action than one that had, say, an Enfield-type action?
Thanks!
