Technically, this would make the Mauser a tad stronger, but it is gilding the lily a bit and is a feature not found on other rifles on sale.Ĭomerical mauser action yes 98 no. The only real difference between the genuine Mauser actions (apart from the thumb slot) is that on the MkX / Zastavas the front receiver ring is drilled through and threaded like all other commercial rifles and the Mausers are drilled through with a narrow hole and then the threads and lug recesses are machined from either end. It will be my wet weather / rough country Sambar deer (Elk sized) and crawl through the blackberries rifle. I like the look and feel of my SS / Synthetic 9.3圆2 Mauser (these are $100 dearer than a blued / synthetic rifle here in Australia, probably a similar difference in the States). The blued / synthetic models will definitely be cheaper I feel. If you are not fussed about the mannlicher stock and would be happy with a conventional sporter stock, you will probably find a new Zastava M70 with a wood stock will probably be as cheap or cheaper. This will give you good infor to bargain with if you want to go with the "used but like new one." I'd go to another gunstore and check what a new mannlicher stocked one costs and if one is available in the calibre you desire. The price quoted is apparently almost the new price. I do check the screws everytime I use it though, haha! I have always been meaning to pillar bed the rifle, but never got around to it. I then remembered that once before I had found the screws had loosed, but the penny didn't drop first time. I suppose the plastic stock compressed minutely under recoil and gradually allowed the action screws to loosen. When I was loading my rifle into the car, I grasped it by the barrel and forend and the action and barrel was flopping about in the stock. At that stage, I withdrew from the shoot and leant my rifle up on the rack and became a spectator. Next thing the guy pipes up that the fall of shot was hitting the dirt on the mantlet and at least four foot below the target. Slightly confused, I wound the scope down and started hitting the target, albeit erratically.
Finally, one of the guys behind me said that he had just picked up my fall of shot and I was three foot over the target. The guys in the butts were signalling misses (we were on a military / Palma style range). When I turned up next year, We started shooting at 300 yards prone and I was having all sorts of problems. All was rosy and I attended a deer stalking club shoot and came third, which pleased (and surprised) me. It seemed to have planty of room in the mag well and a fair amount of freebore which allowed me to seat bullets out well. They were very popular at the time.Īt the time my only centre fire hunting rifles I had were a SAKO 223 and the MkX, so it was afield a lot and acquitted itself well. My first was a 3006 MkX and it came with a Ramline plastic stock and was very reasonably priced.
