VERY nice! But I think you're comparing a BMW to a Yugo or worse!

I'd much rather have a German engineered/manufactured gun than something made by/for a bunch of backwards Russians.

I know its controversial, but the Mosin is better than the Mauser in many ways. It’s far more accurate in all except the Swede 6.5x55.

If you are mounting a scope, or building a hunting rifle, Mauser. If you are needing an iron sight battle rifle, a Mosin is fine. A Finnish rebuild beats any Mauser hands down. That’s based on a lot of shooting all of them on the surplus market.

And Lee Enfield’s are overlooked by everyone. But there’s a ton of truth in the saying that the Springfield is a target rifle, the Mauser is a hunting rifle, and the Lee Enfield is a battle rifle. And don’t forget, the Mosin wound up beating the Mauser side.

But right down to it, Swedish mauser, or Finnish Mosin M39.
