Rifles built on these Mauser and Mauser-type actions:
"True" Mauser:
Oberndorf Mauser, military and commercial (including contract Mausers)
DWM military (including contract Mausers)
FN military (including contract Mausers), and pre-WWII commercial
Early post-war (pre-49) FN commercial actions
Czech VZ-24 (including contract Mausers)
Czech VZ-33 and G33/40 (small ring, for intermediate calibre)
Brno 21/22
Brno ZG-47
Modified Mauser-types
FN post-1948 (also found in early Husqvarna, JC Higgins M50/M51, H&R, Browning, Firearms Intl, Western Field)
Brno ZKK 600 series (comes in magnum length action)
CZ 550 series (comes in magnum length action, and the only modern one in the bunch that I would take anywhere in the world!)
AND
Mosin Nagant (esp. the Finnish capture/re-works!)
Polish M44
Russian laminate SKS (you could lean this against a tree in Nunavut, come back 5 years later and it would likely still go bang!)
And not to be a domestic snob, 2 million Mosins were made by Remington Arms during WW1!

Mikeyb, we need some details an that rifle!
It is just simply impolite to post a pic like that of a great looking Model 70 without the specs
......impolite I tell you,....
That is darn nice......looks like a Classic action with aftermarket bottom metal and barrel....McMillan handle?

Echols Legend-$15,500 plus fees and optics. Maybe they'll throw in a free coffee mug.
